I too, would be interested in the best way to paint over
chrome. I assume you would just need to rough it up with some 220 or
so grit sandpaper, prime it and shoot nice thin coats of paint? I would
like to paint my chrome valve covers (lettering part only), that says "MOROSO",
with engine heat temp paint and leave the rest of the valve cover chrome.
Thoughts?

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Chrome
Rims
My 1971 Chevelle is just days from being
completely finished. All the body work and painting is done and the interior
is almost finished. I have just one problem. I have what I call fake
centerline wheels which are rusty up. I can not buy new rim for the car at
this time. I do not know if I will be able to clean up the rims. First I
wanted to know if anyone has any ideas on how I might clean up the rim and
polish them the best I can. Second, what about painting the rims. If I do
paint them, how would be the best way to paint over chrome and what color
should I paint them. The car is Blackwatch green firemist. This is a very dark
green with three types and sizes to sparkle. The interior is tan. I have to do
something to the wheel because the car look so nice. If I don't clean the
wheel up somehow, it will make me look stupid. Any ideas.
Go to this address to see a picture of my wheel.
My site is not complete so please, no bad comments.
Thanks for help!
