powder it.. you'll be amazed at the difference, and once you've got 25 different grades of paper, primer, more primer, paint and then clearcoat, there is probably no difference in the price.  Paint will chip off chrome no matter what you do if you're going to ride it

can you powder straight onto chrome?

some people say no, but I got mine done and its a really good finish



I had sanded, and primed and then painted, and the finish wasn't good at all (although I'm defo no expert in painting)
