Default Painting chrome lights black?

I have a set of chrome KC Daylighters that I want to paint black, what is the best way of doing this? I was thinking just sandblasting the chrome then painting it with some black high temp engine enamel.

Either that or scuff them up and paint over them.

I don't think bedliner would withstand the heat.
