I usually tape off the bulk of the chrome and then spray the letters not worrying about the over spray. I then come back with lacquer thinner (or even Brake Klean) on a piece of old T-shirt and wipe away the over spray. Either product will remove paint even after it is totally dry, so no hurry in clean-up. I usually have the rag pretty wet and stay away from the letters the first go round, and then use less product on the rag as I get closer to the edges of the letters. There's probably a more professional way, but I haven't found it.
