Oh yea....

If you do it, do a flat black color, maybe one with a little texture in it.

flat black. You can mess gloss up, but if you take a brillo par to the chrome, the flat black will come out perfect, and it won't reflect light in weird ways.

I voted gloss black but I changed my mind, lol I'm a little drunk, but yeah flat black would be better, easier to get a smoother coat
