Lacquer thinner should do it. Ask Mama if you can "borrow" some of her nail polish remover...
Soaking in lacquer thinner, and the use of a fine(00) steel wool oughta get that paint off.
Another idea is Easy Off oven cleaner, but you can't spray it directly on the part
safely. You need a container with a lid large enough to hold the parts, and some kind of shelf inside to keep the parts suspended. Spray the Easy Off libreally on the bottom of the container, then place the parts on the shelf, and install the lid for the container. Let that simmer for about 20 minutes or so. Rinse and repeat as needed. It might be best to practice on a non-essential chrome piece first, to make sure it doesn't dis-color it.
Lacquer thinner is the better choice, imo.
