Trim restore

[bucks77ford]

I need to freshen up the black paint on my racetrac style trim and just wondering what the best thing to do it. One of my pieces is in great shape, but the black paint has chipped off. I've managed to spray some paint on it temporarily just to make it look oK, but it won't last. It'll just come off as soon as I go to the carwash I'm afraid. Paint just doesn't stick to the chrome. What does the factory do to get it to stay? I've looked at some SEM adhesive promotor for paint and may try that. No need to buy new expensive chrome if I can restore mine. Thanks.

I scuff it first...paint with black primer ..then finish with semi-gloss black

The alternative paint these days is the bumper paint.

The trick to this Buck is the curing time. I like to restore parts in the early fall so by the time spring summer comes around, the paint has cured and is rock hard on the part.

I wonder if it can be powder coated.
For that matter I wonder if the silver/chrome can be powder coated
