I reconditioned mine by blasting them and powdercoating satin black

Look good!

I wish this project would just hurry up and finish!

But I don't think it will if I keep making simple mistakes

You've got to break the surface of the chrome and it it's peeling at all then best removed altogether.  Not that I'm a big fan of Hammerite these days, it's not what it used to be.

hmm, wel thats why i suggested the etch primer as it does bite into whatever its sprayed onto - then smoothrite - or even radiator enamel paint, something good 'n' tough.
next thing is colour
silver or white???
