powdercoating help

spoke to the powdercoating shop today. Since the Mercedes grill frame is chrome plated the powdercoat will adhere to the chrome on the frame and only be as strong as the bond of the chrome plating. In a nutshell if the chrome plating is affected by the high temperature of the oven when the finish is baked on, it may begin to peel along with the chrome plating.

I am under the impression that the chrome grill frames are quite robust, at least the OEM ones. Does anyone have any other experience or advice with how to "blacken the grill?"

Has anyone painted the plastic door handles and are there any special tips in that regard?
