Chrome Delaminating

I have a 1997 Merc Mtnr that the chrome foil (for lack of a better term) is beginning to come loose from the plastic grille. Does anything exist that I can use to re-adhere the foil to the plastic? The delamination is on the top of the grill and is hidden by the hood when closed so a visible poopah is not really a concern, I just want to stick it back down so more of the area will not come loose.

I'd use a 2-part epoxy. Get it at any hardware store.
