      You need to scuff the chrome. Bead blast it or a ±60 grit finish will do it.

      I powder coat over chrome all the time. If I am doing some opaque color, I will scuff the chrome first. Often I will do a transparent over the chrome, which looks sweet, then I do not scuff the chrome. I have parts on my motorcycle along with many others and have had no problems. I have also put a clear powder over polished aluminum without any problems, just have to make sure the Al is as clean as possible.
