u have to sand them the paint wont stick to that chrome finish..i just did mines recently..i sanded them just to dull the chrome finish...i bought a can of duplicolor black primer,can of black paint,and a can of clearcoat..i sprayed them with three coats of primer first...i then one coat of black..i didnt like how the black looked so i sprayed them again with the black primer,then a coat of clear..i didnt like the shine the clear coat gave it,so guess what..yup sprayed them again about 3 times with primer and left them like that...heres the end result..a flat black that looks gunmetal in the sunlight..
