Stock y33 grill paint removal

So today, I realized that the outer part of my grill was painted to match the body of the car. I was pretty certain that its supposed to be chrome but I googled some images to double check if the stock grill was chrome. I was wondering what I can do to remove the paint and make the outer part chrome again. I'll get pictures up in the morning of the grill.
