Bumpers.......What to do

I have been looking at my front and rear bumpers and realize the fact they need rechroming. My 67 Dart needs alot of more important things than this. My question is .........Thinking of painting them to match the car.Will this ruin them for rechroming way down the road? Is it a good idea to paint them? Whats the best way to get the paint to stick to the chrome..........??????????? BTW im asking because i know i will get some great responses here.
