You can wipe the chrome right off with never Dull or Mothers..I tryed this and took forever..And you can even bust threw if you go to long in one area..If i were you get some 600gritt sand paper scuff it all Base it whatever color you choose..And let dry
and then clear it..Depending on what you want it to come out like..I like a glossy black and clear..
You can get the RTV from your Autozone or Advanced auto etc.

i just scuffed up the chrome real good, two coats of primer, 6 coats of black, 3 coats of clear

i didnt even get that carried away,i used 400 grit to scuff it,and used three coats of gloss black,two coats of clear coat. they arent exposed to road debris so they dont need to be ubber thick w/paint and clear

Primer is a Sealant to seal the item..And Shawns 6 coats of black could be Even light coats..Your 3 coats could have been even heavier coats..
Heck my old Hightowers i put like 4 heaven coats on and no clear or primer..
Its all on how much Quality you are looking for..

lookin for the best quality

lookin for the best quality

Best quality-
After removing the chrome insert remove the orange corner lense..
scuff with a 400gritt
Blow off with air, Primer till all is coveed should be a good 2 coats
scuff again with 400gritt apply another 2 coats of primer cover all..
Wet sand with 600gritt till its smooth if you bust threw go back and repeat your previous steps.
Use adhesive promter then base it with your color..Alow to dry then Clear coat it..
If you have any other Questions just ask.
