Default Painting Chrome

So i've given up on finding black crash bars and have decided to try my hand at painting them. I've been reading post after post and searching my @$$ off all day on here to find out the best way to do it. This is what I've come up with so far and was just looking for some input on what people who've tried painting chrome think and what experiences they've had.

So far I plan to:

1) Sand the piss out of it with my orbital sander and 600 grit
2) Get some type of cleaner and clean the piece
3) Spray on a coat of primer
4) Spray my coat of black on
5) Then spray on a couple coats of clear coat to try and get some type of protection for it


Hows that sound anyone whos done it? And what kind of luck have you had once you've done it?

Thanks again folks for all your help!!
