You need to sand and use some type of bonding primer,or wash primer as its also called. The bonding or wash primer bonds to the chrome and gives the paint something to stick to.

john, i did mine last year with spray paint. i roughed up the chrome with 220 grit sandpaper and then cleaned and degreased. then i shot all chrome with self etching primer from duplicolor. let it dry for an hour and then shot with krylon bbq and stove paint. the krylon paint turns out the best imho. the other bbq paints out there don't go on nearly as nice. anyways, if you want help personally let me know. i got all that i needed from the napa on sara by intel. i did everything that was chrome. it has since needed some touchups, but the overall look made it worthwhile to me. gotta run, but at least wanted to chime in since my name was thrown out there. i'll check in later and see if anyone has any specific questions. here's a few shots of the rig.

Ok so i can get all the sandpaper and primer at napa? And you kinda confused me with the bbq and stove paint, is that spray paint made for high heat?
