no secret, just hard work and correct materials. First, if possible, I sand off the chrome getting to the nickel. Adhesion is a lot better on nickel. If that can't be done, then at least create some good sized sanding scratches in the chrome. This gives the paint tooth . . something to bite to. Then I use epoxy primer. Epoxy also has great adhesion properties. Doing it this way, I have bumpers that were painted 20 years ago and still look good.
