Adding A Brushed Finish On Trim Rings?

I am looking at buying some new trim rings for my Duster and they pretty much all of them come in a polished chrome finish...

So I wondered if anyone had tried to use steel wool, or Scotch Brite pads, or sandpaper on chrome to dull the finish?

Or the other option of a flat or satin clear coat spray paint?

I will probably start off experimenting with my existing trim rings.

But any feedback would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
