Paint removal from chrome safely

I have a fork here, chrome under the paint; I want to do an all-chrome fork. I am using paint stripper but it's slow going. Mostly, the issue is removing the "goo" comprising drying stripper and the paint. I do not want to damage the chrome -- I have a package of ScotchBrite pads here, is that safe to use without scratching the chrome? I presume they will "laid up" quickly and I'll use several before it's all done.

Then I want to polish it up... I have Blue Magic here, but also the electric buffer and using red rouge, which works nicely on aluminum but is it "chrome-friendly"?
