I haven't seen one painted with chrome paint, but I have seen several painted gray, silver, etc. I think the trick with any type of paint will be in the prep work. I think the surface needs to be exceptional clean, possibly scuffed (not sure on this), and hit with an adhesion promoter in order for the paint to bond correctly.
