Default taking black paint OFF of headlight housing

i painted one of my 00 civic headlights black to see what it would look like, and i dont really like it too well. i didnt sand down the chrome part, so im thinking i can get the paint off. what kind of paint stripper should i use to get the paint off of there, WITHOUT taking off the chrome finish? I was thinking graffiti remover. i know aircraft stripper works real well, but im not too sure if it would take off the chrome plating or not. Thanks for any suggestions

you could always use the aircraft stripper and then paint the housing back to a silver type color
