RE: Painting chrome?

I have had decent results painting chrome but the prep is very important and I would not recommend using rattle cans.
Here is my process
First rough up the surface with 180 grit sand paper.
Then use a catalyzed epoxy primer for grip.
Then a sandable primer to make sure any scratches are gone.
Finally paint.
Some painters will recommend an etching primer first but some do not. I have had good results with PPG Epoxy primer.
Let us know how it works after you are done. Always like looking at good paint jobs. Smile
