Durable Spray Paint
Hello, I am wanting to spray paint a few chrome pieces on my bike flat or semi flat black. I was just wanting to see if there was a very durable spray paint that anyone else uses or could suggest?
I went to my local auto parts store and it seemed like all they had was spray paint for rusty applications.
Thanks very much.

I went to O'Riley auto and purchased VHT Wrinkle paint for valve covers. I used #400 grit wet/dry sandpaper to rough up the chrome. Then used a "self etching primer" on the roughed up chrome, 3 coats. Then 3 coats of the VHT and 30min in the oven per the cans direction and here it is. I painted this 1 year ago and it still looks great. I painted the outside part and left the center chrome. The finish matches the black on the motor exactly. good luck.
