He may have painted them to cover up the flaky chrome.

If he didn't then he more than likely sanded the chrome so it would hold paint.

Either way, I'm sure the chrome is history.

If not, the best thing to use is steel wool, the finest you can buy.

sounds like a job for paint stripper, just don;t get it on the aluminum parts, not sure if it would hurt it.
