I just had the clutch cover on my America replaced (under warranty for bubbling chrome) with the black cover that comes on the Speedmaster. My problem now is that the two covers on the other side are still chrome and just for parts it will cost around 300.00 to replace them with the black ones. Anybody have any ideas about painting them black instead of buying the new ones? Will it work? How do you paint over chrome?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Doesn't everybody's life revolve around food?

You're good, cause any minute now somebody is going to step up and be willing to trade you their black covers for your chrome ones......just wait......

Ok... so I think I may have been wrong? Nobody jumped up to grab some chrome?
Mert may be right -put an ad in the classifieds for a swap.

Original post asked about painting chrome.....Anyone have a suggestion on the way to go about this? Light sanding? Take it all off? etc. before painting?

YOur best shot at getting it to stick is probably media blasting. Chrome is awfully slick! I would want it all gone before painting. I think it is mandatory to be bare, oil free for powder coat? JMO.
