Drop it in some CSC/DOT3, then when the clear is off use a knife or your nail to scrape off the foil.

Get an x-acto knife and trim around the chrome filme, make sure you cut through the clear, then just try to remove it as best you can. That would be my bet..

Never clear over chrome foil, you're asking for trouble.
