I generally sand-blast mine,but if you scuff them up real good it will let the paint stick.I also keep an old set of forks to mount them in and spin them as I spray to give them an even coat.However if you do this make sure that it is not a windy day with your wifes new car in the area. It takes 3HRS. to get rat rod orange overspray off the front of a car with a clay bar. Trust Me. lol

the key to painting over chrome is sand(or media blast) them till all the shine is gone..then use etching primer(you can get it in rattle can form)then use your regular primer and paint over that....with out the etching primer the paint wont bite to well and will eventually come off
