Apologies dude, suppose it wasn't the most helpful of posts! Black would be a hell of a lot better though I reckon it might even look good :laugh:

give them a good clean and try some very fine sand paper on them. May have little effect if chromed.

If you are going to use hammertie, which will stick to just about anything, use a quality brush.

I have done this on steel rims but never chrome so try a little bit first to see what it looks like.

Read the tin.

Disclaimer line by me.

Good luck.
