I've not painted over a fully chromed frame but my frame builder has successfully stripped and painted over two chromed forks on different bikes. One was French chrome on a 531 fork the other was Japanese chrome on a Tange fork. Chemical strip first followed by sanding to scuff up the surface to promote adhesion. Both forks have been durable with no sign of chipping or flaking.
