Painting my chrome caps and handles.

how has the paint held up after all these years? did you sand the chrome completely off or just scuffed it to hold the paint?

 

Great question. I do think the factory paint holds up better. I have some chips on the side view mirrors and one on the drivers handle (ring?). For the money, I would absolutely do again. It is extremely easy to do and makes it pop. I may touch up here soon since I have another car I can drive to take my time sanding. If anyone knows a better clear or paint that would hold up to rocks, I am all ears. Otherwise I may just clear bra the mirrors.

 

I just finished sanding the hood bulge. My painter recommended 80 grit. The door handles are next.
