DIY De-chroming post facelift r53 taillights

Hey guys and gals I'm still a bit new to this so go easy on me. Ok, I'm looking for a DIY step by step tutorial for de-chrome my taillight son my R53. I have a 06 cooper so I have the face lifted body style. I've been looking all over for directions but I can seem to find directions for what I'm looking for. There are tutorials for de-chroming the pre face lifted taillight but not post facelift. I heard its a bit different different for the face lifted lights. Can anyone direct me to a thread that gives me what I'm looking for or can someone just give me me a step by step tutorial? Much thanks in advance

Cheers

Sorry for the URL breakup there. NAM must have something against the Motoring Alliance. :/

And here's another link of interest...
