Well, if you're going to try painting a chrome finish, that's pretty ballsy to start with! :p

Honestly, chrome and any other metallic finish will tend to accentuate any flaws or marks in the underlying surface. If you're going this route, do try to put down a few coats of primer - wet sanded smooth.

I just had a can of candy apple red sitting on the desk, apologies for the random patin-association!
