The best way is to have it removed at the chromers ;)

wondered this myself ... to get a good candy colour it's best over chrome.  I done it straight over a chrome frame before but you could literally scratch it of with your nail  :-\  And sanding a key into the chrome would be a shame i suppose

Like Andy says  :daumenhoch:

I think Dan applies a silver powder coat first to create a superb bright even base for the translucent candy top coat   :coolsmiley:

No need to do anything  :daumenhoch:

You can powder straight over chrome.

It gives a nice base too.  Obviously make sure all flakey bits are removed.

 I just powdered straight over the remaining chrome on the RL but the guy warned me it might not stay on as well.I'd rather of stripped it properly first but it's a rider ::)
