I did my chrome all black. sanded it, primed it, painted it and it still has a million little rock chips all over it.

Man, that sounds like way too much work to me. Hell, I didn't even wipe it off with a rag. I just a couple cans of flat black, taped off the red paint so I didn't overspray (too bad) and started sprayin. I've only had a couple spots I've had to "touch up" but that wasn't from bad work... that was from, um, trees on "narrow" (4wheeler) trails that I didn't think actually got quiiiiite that narrow until it was too late Tis ok tho, a little extra pressure on the skinny pedal and away I go will worry about the 'aesthetics' later.
