Painted chrome? Unfortunately Phil, I don't see that lasting. What did you scuff them up with? Shy of sand/media blasting them, I don't see anything sticking for any amount of time.

Hope I'm wrong but after being in the bodyshop for 25 years, I've seen my share of chrome painted parts and have yet to seen one survive a stone chip, etc.
