You can NOT paint over chrome without either stripping the chrome or using a primer that will destroy the chrome. Chrome is too slippery for paint to adhere. Maybe start living on e-Bay?
Never Ever could you get the paint to stick long enough to enjoy the look...The first time you attempt to wash or clean it you'd be screwed. Powder Coating is the answer but it wrecks the chrome when it's sandblasted in order for the powder coating to mechanically bond to... Better find another way. I'm with Mega...start buying take off parts off E-Bay.MegaGlide said:You can NOT paint over chrome without either stripping the chrome or using a primer that will destroy the chrome.

Krylon Rust Tough in "Flat Black". IT STICKS TO CHROME, yet comes off easily with paint remover. Gasoline won't touch it. It's an exact match to Denim Black. I used this on my main Harley in my avatar. Inexpensive and durable.I intend to paint ONTOP of the chrome, as I don't want to damage the chrome incase something won't go well.
All the major paint companies have flat/semi - flat paints/clears . I have done a black base with DCC-2060 semi clear with good results . U could also us John Deer Blitz black its a flat acrylic enamal black. Its durable and its cheap about 30 bucks for a gallon . No clear is needed . The JD paint is made by Sherman Williams.ultravista said:Other than HD directly, are there sources for Black Denim or somthing similar? Isn't is just flat black paint?
I plan on repainting a spare tin set for my Night Train. Want to go all flat black.
Thanks.
LOL, John Deere Blitz Black is awesome paint. I worked at a John Deere dealer and we couldn't keep that stuff on the shelf. I painted some wheels with that stuff and it wears like iron. I also painted under the hood of a car and it never so much as chipped. I think I still have a can of it that's about 10 years old in my garage.Fxsts103ci said:All the major paint companies have flat/semi - flat paints/clears .
