A Paint question

[Mick]

I want to paint my chrome grille and bumpers etc black. Is there any way of getting it to bond to the chrome ?

Thanks

Sandblast...

...what model grill. Someone may want the chrome and be willing to trade...

I'd sand blast the chrome off first. Prime and paint after that. You could sand but it will take a looooong time. Ihave never tried to paint over chrome but have removed it to paint.

The bodywork is silver with an off white FRP top. It looks more like a womans rig the way it is at the moment, I'm gona spray the top black along with the chrome.

I believe dilute battery acid is also a way of dechroming (the pros dip it prior to a rechroming operation). Not sure how you safely do this in your living room, however.

I was thinking acid might do the trick, I think the call it etching or something.
