The plastic trim is not "chrome", just shiney silver colored plastic. The paint adhears well to it.
You will need part numbers. May have to go to your dealership and have the parts guys look them up for you. Once you have a part number, Surdyke is one of the better places to buy on-line parts. About 20% of retail.
I will probably try to paint mine. If i make a mess looks like maybe a couple hundred loss total.
Lord know i spent more in a casino with nothing to show for it.....lol

Lower rocker covers on a sporty. The screens on the brake calipers on a touring bike and such.

For plastic it is best to first spray it with adhesion promoter. It helps the paint adhere better. You can get it at any auto parts store. Maybe even Home Depot. Here is an example but there are lot's of brands that do the same thing.
