the reason they chip is because if its chrome people dont give it a good enough key

Trust me the paint on mine was seriously thick and done properly. My surface area was a lot bigger than a few slats tho.

they are chrome standard are they not? theres no reason why if done properly that should chip anymore than the rest of the bumper
the op wants to paint small plastic bits like mine in gloss, its no differant to colour coding a bumper top ect so should chip if done well
