I had asked at another forum and the local body guy responded with this:

Do you have a spraygun? If so pull the bumper apart. Then use a 3M-7447 red scotchbright pad - dry - and scuff well. when you think your done do it again. Then use a fresh pad with soapy water and do it again. PPG and Dupont both have a good epoxy primers that will stick to the scuffed chrome. I use PPG because it comes in colors. red,black,grey,and white. This will also work on your chrome grille. Their are also other ways to paint chrome, this one works for me. :chopper:
