1952-59 Ford Painting over chrome plating

I see pictures of a lot of cars with bumpers and other chrome items painted.. Any tricks to get it to stick etc?

 

the trick is not to do it go chrome or go home!

 

One word,Powdercoating.

 

We painted the bumpers on my 53 over 22 years ago. There is one spot that I didn't get the chrome ground off and the paint came off. The trick is to grind all the chrome off!

 

I have the opposite situation. A P.O. painted the bumpers and grill on my Merc body color. It's so 1980's I feel like I should be wearing a mullet when I drive it.

 

A chrome shop can strip the chrome off.
