Thanks bro, there is were I am going;

 

Rmodel gets my vote.. This will work, be sure to degrease it before you spray anything on it. Removing chrome with acid would take a LONG time and it would also thin the metal. You also dont want deep scratches in it that you have to fill with primer.

Glen would it really bother you that much to have some chrome under the hood? Its not a big deal and nobody will call the factory correct cops on you..

I used KleanStrip Bulldog Black Adhesion Promoter to paint some chrome a couple of months ago. It says that it will stick to all automotive surfaces, and it worked great on the chrome. If you want it to be a flat black just leave it as is, otherwise use it as a primer followed by whatever paint you like. The only prep I did was to scuff up the chrome a bit with a scotchbrite pad and make sure it was clean. I got the stuff at a local paint store, but I imagine they have a website as well if you can't find it at a local paint store. I don't think that you will find it at a Lowes, Home Depot, etc.though.

 

yeah, it could actually even look good....

 

you could try this here in the smoke color i think that might look cool it will just look like it has been anodized

 

do you guys think that could work for my vent window frames?????????? the chrome is sorta peeling and i dont really wanna buy new ones that wont fit good or be able to buy the new repro like 5 times over by getting them re-chromed....they are good phsyically its just the idiot owner before me over sprayed them with primer and stuff....id like to just scuff and/or spot blast then spray with the chrome stuff there.....actually...come to think of it....all my chrome has overspray on it.....some windows two......

Scuffing is the key! Scuff,clean with some type of acid based metel prep, 2k, let dry, wet sand,then paint. Works for me.

 

Brake cleaner spray will do for that matter.
