Painting Chrome rims black any tips?

I have the stock 16inch Chrome rims, is it possible just to paint over the chrome? Also what paint would you recomend I saw they had rim paint at Auto-Zone is that any good? The chrome on these rims are terrible its peeling and any other tips would also be appreciated.

Re: Painting Chrome rims black any tips?

You'd have to have them professionally done if you wanted it to last more than 6 months. ALL of the chrome will need to be sanded/blasted off, they'll need to be prepped, primed, painted, and if you want them gloss black, they'd need to be clear-coated too.

If you spray paint right over the chrome, it wont' stick and will peel off at the next car wash.
