what i would do is cover the sides of the rim with tape and then paint it just incase you want to go back to brakes

It's up to you, it's your bike so if you think it would look good then do it. No point worrying about what people you'll probably never meet think about it.

Wrap the spokes in tape.

thats what i did the first 3 times. then i got lazy.
i always hated when i wraped the spoks in tape and got a little of the tape on the rim and a bit of the underneith paint colour showed through.

sand the f*ck out of it and get as much of it off as you can. painting chrome will always suck
