rough them up some with very fine sandpaper like Rakthi said and clean them really good with a paint solvent like prepsol (sp?).
You can use regular automotive paint, but for stuff like this I like to use a model airplane epoxy based paint.
It looks good and lasts as long as a good powdercoat.
You can usually get it at any hobby shop that deals in RC model airplanes.

You can paint anything.. lol.. Like the others have said, you need to rough up the chrome so the paint will adhere.. That's it.. I painted mine when I painted the rest of the tins 2 years ago and they're holding up fine..
