Just spray them, if you ever want them chrome again use Nitromors to get it off, easy. I did it to a chrome grill on a mini, paint came off leaving them lovely and shiny still :)

Thing is, if yourgoing to paint chrome it needs to be rubbed down and keyed off to allow the paint to adhere to the metal.  So when you then remove the paint the chrome would be all scratched and useless.

Its sounds like the grill you painted Aimee wasnt keyed off, hence why the paint came straight off?

Or like Ashley you could use black gaffer tape  ;D ;D

There are 2 types of black ones.

There are the ones which are the same as the chrome ones but black, and were fitted to HS

Then there are the black ones which are smooth and were fitted to the later cars
