Painting the chrom color BLACK around grille?

Painting the chrom color around grille black? Ive seen several different ones done just wondering how you did yours? and how its holding up and everything.. i want to paint mine black as well as my badges
any info will help thanks.

 

I didn't paint chrome, but I painted the inner part when I made my grill. It's held up very well. It's all about prep work. With the chrome your going to want to scuff it up with a fine to very fine sand paper. Clean all surfaces to be painted with bug and tar remover. Them some light coats of primer(3-4), followed by light coats(3-4 or how many it takes to get full coverage) of your chosen color. Light coats will give a smoother finish and none of that dripped paint look. You can do a final clear coat if you prefer, again a few light coats. Temperature is a factor when it's cold out. You would need a heated garage or warm basement.
