It's not that easy, and I've never had good luck. However, prep is the key. The chrome needs to be scuffed pretty good to give the paint something to adhere to. The paint/body forum may have more/better info on exactly what works best to do this.

you could always grind all the chrome off with an air grinder and a 36 grit or 50 grit roloc then switch to scotch brite rolocs to smooth out the grain. Then switch to sandpaper and so on. I have tried media blasting chrome off and it doesnt work very well either.
