Chrome is hard to get stuff to stick to. Mine was scuffed with 80 grit then done with adhesion promoter, epoxy primer, base, then clear.

Wrap it. Lol. I have a new found love for wraps
What Bomber said.

Honestly, if you’re using a chrome part, I’d wrap it all day. Chrome doesn’t accept paint very well and the highway will destroy all your hard work one tiny chip at a time.

As you can see I installed aftermarket grille from eBay and painted the chrome grille surround black as well.

Depending on color you should wrap it. I wanted to wrap mine but nobody had a color in stock that would match my indigo blue metallic :(
