I just confirmed in my powder coat gun manual, and it says you can coat over chrome and polished aluminum. There are transparent coatings out there too, for example if you want the black chrome look.

yes I do coat over chrome at times. The chrome must be in very good shape. any wear/damage will cause problems in the powder usually. Durability is good but not as good as when applied to bare metal that's been properly blasted.
