i would think they would ,,,cause chroming is a dipping process....maybe u can just scuff them up to paint,,,,,but i dont think that would be enough,,,,,i would think u would want the bare metal to primer then powdercoat,,,,im no powdercoater or a chromin xpert.........but i do know the purpose of powdercoatin is for chip resistance,,,,,,,like i had my harley frame powdercoated orange,,,,,,it wasnt cheap either
