What kind of paint did you use to paint over the chrome? Or did you just sand it down?

I'm not OP, but fwiw I lightly sanded mine, and primed it with the Rustoleum self-etching primer, and then sprayed rattle can Rustoleum truck bed liner over that. It's held up great for 3 years through winter.

I love the self-etching primer for any bare metal painting. Different companies have their own versions, ie. U-POL Acid#8.

Well done! Props for doing your own paint job, I chickened out and just used a rubbing compound to restore my paint.

I think that was the trash can mod that was written up someplace. Can't seem to find it.
