How to Paint Over Chrome

Home » Interior Design » How to Paint Over Chrome

Giving your vintage chrome furniture a modern makeover is easy. Whether you want to alter the color scheme of your home, or add an eye-catching accent piece, painting over chrome can be an effective solution for achieving that look.

The initial step in spray painting over chrome is to properly prepare the surface. This can be accomplished using hand orbitals or palm sanders, depending on which type of chrome you wish to paint. Additionally, you will require protective equipment like rubber gloves and goggles for safety.

Once the surface has been properly prepared, you can begin spraying on primer. Make sure it applies evenly and smoothly so that all areas are coated. After it has completely dried, you can move forward with the actual painting process.

When applying the paint, make sure you use a steady sweeping motion from side to side or up and down. Doing so will help avoid drips or runs that could potentially harm your finished project.

Once the primer has completely dried, you can begin painting on the chrome. For optimal results, apply several light coats of paint until it is fully covered. Wait 24 hours for it to dry before beginning to sand the chrome for smoothness.

Add a fresh look to your vintage chrome furniture without breaking the bank with this easy, cost-effective upgrade. No need for costly refinishing or restoration - simply spray on some paint!
