Question grille painting

What is the best way to darken the front grilles. Ive heard of making washes to ink to actual painting with a fine brush. Will paint adhere to the chrome plating? I am attempting this for the first time so help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: grille painting

A black wash is the best way to go. Thin black paint(preferably flat) 10parts thinner 1 part paint
