Painting Over Chrome

The best thing to do would be to strip the chrome off of the part before painting it. To do this you use something with bleach, I use Clorox clean up with bleach, just pour it in a small tub, drop your wheels in, and in about 5 minutes you will have bare plastic. Just wash and rinse really good and remember saftey first, wear some heavy rubber gloves, cause bleach ain't good for ya

to the forums! Pull up a keyboard and stay a while.

Painting over chrome is not recommended as the chrome finish won't allow the paint to adhere well. Here is a link to a post that discusses the varius methods of removing the chrome prior to painting.

By the way, nice rig!

You will have to strip the chrome since nothingwill stick to it (unless you sand it, but it's nearly impossible on complex parts)

There is 3 article on ScaleWiki about that:

- Strip Chrome Parts

- Strip Chrome Parts Using Bleach

- Strip Paint

Sand blast 'em
