Can you paint right over chromed lowers or does it have to be etched?

I never even thought to ask how much that would cost... but probably too much anyways.

I'm not a fan of gloss. Guess I'll be looking for the right stuff

This is on the top of my "To Do List". What a difference it makes. I notice the clear coat is starrting to chip away anyway.

2 cans paint - $16
air craft stripper - $10
220 sand paper - $5
denature alch - -$10
lint free cloth - $5
masking tape - $7
other masking materials - Free
total: $53

it is not just the paint you need bud... it is the prep and supplies too that people over look. for $27 more you can have them powder coated and they will last forever... just saying man i am all for do it yourself, hell this is my how to... but if i can save people the head ache from chips and worring about doing it again and offer options i try to do that as well
*also the paint does not come in a flat or satin, and it HATES to be cleared if you where thinking of knocking it down with a satin or flat clear...
