I have wheels with the inner area (beadlocks?) black and the rim part chrome. I would like to have these all black if possible. Is it possible to paint these myself without the paint flaking off in a month? If so, what process would I go through to prep and paint?
Thanks,
Bill
I've never heard of a way to successfully paint a chromed part. You can try sanding it, but I expect the paint will blow off the next time you hit the wheel with a pressure washer.
I suggest that you have the wheels stripped to bare metal by a professional plating company. Look in the Yellow Pages.. Then you can prime and paint, or have the parts powder coated.

This link will get you going but my experience is painting over chrome is a real pain in the butt.
Dont know about Crome, But the local Sandblaster will:
sand blast and PowerCoat for $25 each.
Have several buddys with nice looking wagon weels. . .
