not yet, it does chip pretty easy though I will end up redoing it latter, the paint seems like it does not want to stick to the chrome very well. any ideas?

did you sand it down first?
sanding and taking off all the chrome will give the paint a groove to adhere to

I tried to sand itbut can't get between the links.

that sounds like a good idea, but no one in my area does that and i cant send it off b/c i don't have the stock one any more.
