There's actually some good info on this subject. You just need to Search for it. Alot of helpful tips on how to do it, what paint to use and what not. Also, masking is gonna be your best bet from keeping paint from where it's not supposed to be. I plan on doing this myself in the very near future too.

Rep Power: 0 Use some of that blue painters' tape and be careful around the chrome. I hear its very thin and can peel right off.
