Default Re: Painting chrome?

I painted my chrome grill and fuel cap black. I went to my local auto paint supply store and they provided me with the correct info and supplies. They said to only "scuff up" the chrome with a scotch brite pad, not sand paper. The scoth brite pad sort of dulled the crome and didn't leave any deep scratches that would show after painting. They also sold me a etching primer. They said to spray 3 thin coats for proper bonding. I then sprayed the chrome with the flat black paint. I have washed the vehicle several times since painting the chrome. I have scrubbed smashed bugs off of the grill, and the paint looks as good as it did the day I painted it.
Hope this helps.
Scott
