Painting chrome?
Painting chrome? is there a proper way of painting chrome? the reason why im asking is cause i completely hate chrome and i want it black. its not for my F-body but its for my other car im building.
i did the same with my bug, everything chrome when satin black. Some peices i just roughed up, primered then prepped for paint. Others i used a flex add/ adhesion prompter (bulldog) and having had any real issues yet.

i painted a chrome bmx bike when i was younger, it was origionally chrome and i just roughed the chrome up a bit and it painted over pretty well, i used white paint and didnt have any issues with the paint chiping.

the best way to paint chrome is to have the chrome stripped and then prep the metal, prime the metal, wetsand the primer(this will also remove any imperfections in the metal) and the paint. it will last the longest. if these are rims your painting or anything that might get hit with little rocks or anything on the road powdercoat them because its a hundred times for durable then paint
