Re: What chrome parts can be painted on the H2 and..
I have done my chrome plastic mirror caps and aluminum roof rails with Duplicolor bedliner, and they are holding up great. I just sanded them really well and cleaned them with mineral spirits, then coated.
The mirror caps have been scraped pretty hard against trees and so far so good. In fact I thought for sure I was going to break the passenger mirror once while backing out of a trail that got too narrow, and it only showed some light scuffing but did not damage the bed liner. No peeling at all.

Hmmmm, is there a pattern developing here?

Re: What chrome parts can be painted on the H2 and..
You can paint any chrome but don't get in a hurry because it is a multiple step process. Sand with 300 to 600 grit paper until the chrome begins to dull a little. Prime with a self etching prime (at least 2 coats). Prime with a standard metal primer (2 coats). Paint the color you want (3 to 4 coats). Clear coat application (2 coats). It will turn out fine and not peel but don't get in a hurry, don't overspray when applying any coat, and make sure you allow 3 times as long as the drying time which the product says it needs for drying.

You can do alot of it yourself but I agree with everyone on here, take your time with the prep.

I did my door handles, hood handles, hood latches, mirrors, and wheels with flat black paint. I did the grill and roof racks, light bar with spray on bedliner. everythings holding up well no flaking, i think its been about 2 yrs...
for prep everything was sanded, cleaned and primed.

Re: What chrome parts can be painted on the H2 and..
Me too! Everything has been blacked out except the H2 symbols and license plate light cover thing... I just haven't had time really....
But its been about a year of abuse and haven't had any issues at all, paint sticks great....
