How to prep chrome for paint /impala project update

whats up people !!! In this video i show you how i prepped all my chrome moldings and bumpers on my impala to get it ready for paint.

This is my first attempt at painting chrome, so after tons of research i came up with a plan.

My plan is

1. Clean all chrome with a surface cleaner

2. Sand all chrome with 80 grit, i used few different tools for this,
DA sander, electric palm sander and an angle grinder with a 80
grit flap disk.

3. clean with surface claner

4. spray 2-3 coats of a etch primer

5. wet sand with 320-400 grit.

6. clean surface

7. spray 2-3 coats of 2k high build primer

8. wet sand with 400 grit

9. clean surface

10. ready for paint !

now these are the steps i took to prep all my chrome bumpers and moldings, others have used epoxy primer with good results but i already had the etch primer so thats what i decided to use.

the etch primer seems to be holding up well after the sanding so the 2k primer and paint shouldn't be a problem

biggest problem is the adhesion of the first primer and the adhesion seem good, i guess only time with tell on the durability of the method i have chosen.

Let me know what you guy think in the comments below about me painting the chrome. good? bad?
