Painting rims (chrome plated question)

[NTX_3kGT]

I've gone thru and searched and read all the threads. I see people saying to can't paint the chrome plated rims, and i understand that but what about if i strip of the chrome? Its already flaking off anyway.

I was looking at em today and it appears to my untrained eye that if i strip off the chrome, clean it really good, sand it, prime it and then paint it should come out pretty smooth.

So nobody has done this?

Yes people have done this. It'll work great. Powdercoating > painting, though ... less chips, etc.
