Would painting the outside black work over old Chrome? Wayne, I doubt paint would adhere to chrome very well but I know very little about plating. Maybe I could bead blast the chrome to prep for painting? Anyone here in the peanut gallery know if blasting chrome is sufficient prep for painting or does the plating need to be removed so we're back down to the metal to make this work? Jim
