painting chrome

Is there anyway to remove the chrome from the interior door handles? I'de like to paint them black on my 73 crew cab, but I don't wanna sand it down as it will leave scuff marks from the sanding. Do ya'll know anything that will either remove the chrome or make it paintable?

take a wire wheel to it, you just need to make it rough for the primer to hold.

jsut sand it with 200 grit or a wire wheel, prime it then wet sand it with a 400 grit, prime again, then sand with 400 grit wet sand again, then paint, 2 coats, color sand with 2000 grit, then clear coat and you are finished
