Default Spraying over chrome bits of cars.?

You know, like ghey chrome window surrounds and so on.

If i give em a quick rubdown with sandpapaper and spray em (maybe with metal primer first) will that be ok, or do I need some particular metal primer or summat to make it work?

Or?

If you can get hold of any use some epoxy primer or etching primer Steve

Rub the surface down with the sandpaper to get all the shine off etc etc Then give them a few coats in either of the the above. Will be fine
