powder coat over chrome

can you sandblast chrome and powder coat over it...... my rims are chrome and have some issues with pitting/etc due to being in the snow for 6 years.... i was thinking of powdercoating them black to go with the theme of the car...

Yes you can,

they even have translucent powders that will work very well on chrome

like the black chrome stuff that is starting to show up on rims and such

Yes, you can powder coat over chrome. I just powder coated all my lug nuts and they look great.

Chromes a pretty slick surface to be coating over, but if blasting, probably be fine. Maybe consider Jet-Hot ceramic too. While mostly for exhaust headers and such, will blast and coat anything.
