Painting Question
Iam looking to do it myself on painting some chrome . What is the best way to make it stick to the chrome . Do I have sand blast it or is there a primer out there that will do the job ??
Thanks Phil

i would think that you could just scuff it or you can use some automotive primer ( i forget the exact term) but i know it prevents rust and will allow for a better stick of the new paint. hope this helps...

+1 self etching primer. Wash first to remove grease or wax, Dawn works ok, then sand blast (sand or glass) or sand really well, wash w/ lacquer thinner, then self etching primer, then primer surfacer to fill in sanding marks, then "paint"(2 part urethane would be fine)There's nickel plate under that chromium plate, you kinda have to get near the nickel or beyond to paint, so prep is key.
