are those Federal 4P Bars?
EDIT: The paint looks really good. Almost as if there is a slight flake in it.

Transparent over chrome is nice. Did you clearcoat it? I'd hate to do this and have paint flake off super easily.... And how good do you think it sticks? I personally think the paint sticks as much as it would on anodize without being sanded off.

For best results use primer adhesive. I read about it in a similar post

i just sprayed it today as an experiment to see before i strip my mankind frame. My justice frame is the trans purple but under the purple paint its chrome. This paint seems to hold pretty good to the chrome didnt clear coat it just to see how tough it is. i just used these bars since i dont ride them. They are mid to late 90s diamondback handlebars ive had forever

To make awesome custom paint schemes.
EDIT; provided you're not completely covering the chrome.
