I used to think the only way to paint over chrome is taking it to a chromer's and have 'em take the chrome off. That's before I discovered these... 60 grit flap wheel. Takes chrome down to a paintable finish like a knife through butter.

This'll be a custom color. Stay tuned, you'll not wanna miss it.

I've had good luck running chromed parts through the bead blaster just enough to rough it, followed by 2k self etch then 2k urethane primer.
