I did use Krylon fusion. The only thing I did to prep it was scuffed it up real good with a scuff pad, then I sanded it with 120 grit, then I sanded with 600. After that I cleaned it up thoroughly with alcohol. Then I used a chrome adhesive to help my paint stick to it. Looks really good. I used the same stuff on my mirrors, but they get hit by wind and bugs and the paint is starting to chip. I'm going to take them to my dad's house and paint them right in the garage with a paint gun.
I can't find my can laying around, but its just like a spray paint can. It's specifically for like chrome, wood, and plastics........I guess thats not really "specific" huh 
.
It's just like primer. AHHHH this is killing me....I cannot find it.

I got what your saying. It's basically a primer specifically for chrome. I'll see what I can come up with. And, thanks to your pics, I'm definitely doing my emblems with Krylon Fusion flat black once we get out of this deep freeze!! Thanks again man.

Self etching primer may do the trick
i did the same thing to my f150
blacked out emblems, oval, grill, all the plastic and bumpers...i would recommend the adhesive promoter by bulldog. its like $15 but my friend who owns a paint shop recommended it to me and my bumpers have held up great
