Re: 1956 Javelin painting chrome

[theodore]

I would try to roughen or scratch the chrome in those areas to be painted, to give it some "tooth". "Glass beading" would probably work well. Failing that, I would clean with acetone, and get some really tenacious epoxy spray primer, like Imron or Awlgrip, then top coat over that.

If the epoxy were to someday fail, and I don’t expect it will, you haven’t lost much, just re-do those small areas.
