Question on removing a Bright Chrome Rear Footrest Support
So I have this in chrome on both sides. I would like to remove them so I can paint them black. But with them tied into the frame, is this possible without taking any of the bars off?
Not real sure how to proceed. I appreciate any guidance.

Mask off the area not to be painted, prep the chrome and spray on the paint. It would help we knew what model F3 and photos. I like the chrome accents on my F3L, so I am not understanding this all black thing. I guess it's a generational thing.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Obviously painting with them off makes it easier. But I can do it this way. I have a car chromed and white and looks great. I am not liking it on the bike. It is an 18 F3L. I am close to 50 years old and just love that all black look.

Chrome is hard to paint, My son didn't like the stripes on his comaro, so he used some temporary spray, like Plastidip or something similar.
Just throwing it out there. Lasted several years till he sold the car.

Was going to use pounded metal on it. Definitely much better than standard paint. At least, I hope so.
