Painting Questions

[Firefly]

I have some items I want to mount to the Spyder, but don't like the colors - so I want to paint them.

One item is chrome and the others are stainless steel.

Can these metals be painted without any problems?

Anything special that should be done?

Since they are very smooth, should they be sanded prior to painting? Between coats?

Anyone have any ideas?

I already bought paint from color rite - and their primer and some special stuff to make paint stick better--- along with a glossy overcoat.

I tried to learn about painting but I realized it's not for the dilettante. Don't know the answers to your questions but there are different chroming options such as black chrome (my fav).
