How to paint Chrome
I have never painted chrome before, because I have never had the need to. I am bidding on an export brace that was chrome plated sometime during it's life, and if I win this guy, I want to paint it black. Any ideas? This may or may not be an original export brace, but it is advertised as being thicker than the repops. Hell, it may even have come off an Shelby.

perhaps a controlled application of acid.
Or better idea would be to leave it chrome

so you say thats painted on chrome? like rattle can? looks good, i thought that always looked crappy....u could get like one of those spot blaster guns and just get some media and hook it up to your compressor....I've seen then for like $15....i dono how good they work but seems like it would be fine for something so small.

RE: How to paint Chrome
if you search in google for "how to paint over chrome" people usually say that the following worked for them
sand it down with 100 then 200 sanding paper until the surface is dull (not shiny anymore). then primer, then paint
someone even said he painted straight on the chrome, so he could remove the colour in case that's needed somewhen ... don't know if I'd believe that
no warranties on this one though ;-) never tried
