I had a spare chrome grill for my car that was sitting around doing nothing, so I tried some tempua paint on an unobtrusive spot. It didn't do very well. Even with repeated layers, with plenty of dry time in between, you could still see the chrome underneath. all the black tempura paint did was dull the chrome and give it a bluish cast. It was splotchy as well. On the bright side, removal of the paint from the grill was easy enough. The stuff just seemed to rub off with a wet rag and some elbow grease. Next I think I will try Thunderbuckets suggestion of flat black water-based house paint.
