Yours is only chipping on the lines where the chrome underneath is chipping isn't it?

Oh ok, then maybe i am wrong so scratch what i said. However, you can plastidip on top of the chrome and paint over the plastidip and it holds VERY well, i am speaking on personal experience there. The only place that i ever had peel at all was where the grille hit the ground when the truck rolled

Yup its not really chrome... Just a chrome sheet over the plastic. It sands off pretty easily.
