I aint entirely sure, but if you wont to spray them then i would have thought you would only have to give them a good rubbing down and then use a decent primer first then spray. other peeps will prob know better.  :daumenhoch:

better to completely strip them, get the prep wrong and the finish will look shite....   :daumenhoch:

I think to strip chrome you need to reverse the chroming process :daumenhoch:
