looks cool Metalrulez, what sort of paint are you spraying the hardware with and do you think it will be durable enough ?

Did you sand the chrome (or black finish) first to get a key for the paint to stick to?

Thank you WokkaBoy. I am using the MetalCast paint. It is working great. Not coming off at all.

No i didnt Simon. I just cleaned the chrome ready for painting. I wanted the chrome shine to come through the transparent chrome colored paint.

I painted the inside of a couple of lamp shades with the bronze colour 3 years ago, its holding up well despite the heat. Made for auto use so I presume it has something in it to bite into bare metal.

Here is the finish product of the colored chrome hardware on my Yamaha RBX Bass rebuild.
