in short , yes to both of your questions. give the surface a rub down with 400's wet n dry so that the paint can key, especially on chrome otherwise it will easily scratch off... :daumenhoch:
R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

plasti cote from wilko is best on chrome, make sure the chrome is clean as a whistle before you spray, you don't need to sand it, it will scratch but don't it all get scratched anyway? also you can get chrome again if you wish simply by using nitromors hey presto chrome again. plasti cote straight on chrome works a treat. its a different formula than car paint  :daumenhoch:


prep is everything when spraying take your time or it'll be  :'(
