I can't see why not, it was pretty tuff when \i used it on my camper rear lights, looked good for the 2+ years till I sold it, but they were placcy, but shiney and no prep (ie keying),

What you doing? over chrome?

The bars and stem were rusty as fook, I blew them over with a can of what I thought was cellulose black qwhich turned out to be matt black, then blew it over with lens tint.

if you spray chrome is comes out like black chrome. I did this on my volvo grille and it looked sweet

For the price of the paint I'd just send them to Dan and get them powdered  :daumenhoch:
