Ive painted my door strips black and the front grill. Get some sand paper and give the chrome strips a good rough up before painting, This part is key because the surface is to smooth and the paint will begin to flake off otherwise. Once its roughed up apply a few light coats and wait until its dry. Rough up the base coat again with a fine grit sand paper and apply a few layers of top coat. Then repeat with the lacquer.

do you have a gtc or a 5 door?
