[SML] Painting Chrome

[Kate Stack]

I highly recommend Modern Masters metallic paints. You'll still want to
prime over something shiny, but they're pretty thick and heavy duty; they
have great coverage. English Brown is always in my distressing kit.

I like the satin shimmer finish for faux metal.

And I'd just use a matte black spray primer over chrome. There aren't many
parts of a wheelchair that see heavy impact that would chip them. I'd
probably toss a piece of dark wood over the footrests to avoid painting
them and make it feel a bit older.
