it's not a good idea to spray over chrome, and clear coat for that matter, there's not enough mechanical adhesion on the surface.

i recall there's a process that reverse chrome plating, which has to do with some chemical tank and stuff like that. i don't do not work with chrome plating at all so don't ask me. try call the guy that does chrome in the yellow page and ask the expert.

Everyone has their own opinion on which is better. Im just giving you my personal experience with both methods lol. I have had a set of wheels professionally painted and the first time I went to have tires mounted there was small chips around the lip of the wheel. If your car's paint can chip or be scratched so easily, it will do the same to the painted wheel. I realize the car's paint is somewhat thinner but the concept still exists. Do what you want, its your money, and if powder-coating is not in your budget then go with the paint. Just be ready to touch them up every once in a while. Post pics when you get them done. Id like to see them on your car.

a property painted wheel will last just as long as the pc wheel,
