Painting/Powdercoating Chrome Parts??!!

I have a project that I want to re-use some parts on. Those particular parts are currently chrome. They are in like new shape, so I am not worried about flaking/chipping.

Has anyone ever painted/powdercoated over chrome, with any luck? Any advice on the matter would be much appreciated.

Thanks Guys,
Davey

 

In the past, I've roughed up chrome with 80 grit, sprayed primer on it, and then painted it like a normal piece. The pieces were on the front of a truck, and held up fine. I'm not saying this is the correct way, but it's worked for me. The best way to do it would be to get the chrome chemically stripped.

 

I have sand blasted chrome parts and powdercoated them and they have held up for years.

 

What did you use for blasting media?

 

I have done painting and had powdercoating done many times on chrome parts. I blast them with a light blasting media (like Garnet, or gl*** bead) to give a little bit of bite. Makes for a very nice finish. I don't like to go more than that, just increases the likelihood of the chrome peeling underneath.

 

there is a long post on "painting" chrome on here already....

 

I usually go a little more agressive with sand or black magic.If the chrome is in good shape just a light blasting to give it some bite.Gl*** bead really doesnt rough it up enough imo.
