Well as above I am thinking of painting the chrome round the door and window.

I'm not a fan of all that shinny stuff to be honest I was think about painting it back as well as the front grill and badge on the rear.

I was just wondering if anyone has done this and if there was a step by step guide.

Just looking for ideas as to how to get the paint to stick to chrome. I was thinking just giving it a good key then undercoat, paint then some lacquer.

Thanks for the input.
