You dont have to sand til the chrome is gone just till it is dull. Let it dry and make sure you see no shiny spots and you are good to go.

wow i can tell you guys havent been near body shops or ever doing a restoration on a vehicle...
*IF* you want to proper bond to a chromed part you want to sand blast the part that is chrome its not so much removing the chrome you will some. but its etching it is the main reason..
Ryan said Etching primer which is correct then sand and sealer primer then sand some more wet sand to atleast 2000grit then paint.. if its a base coat clear about 2-5 coats will do then sand wet sand atleast to 2000 grit then start the polishing buffing process till its nice and shiney..

like stated Etching primer and sealer primer..
Precleano for cleaning and prepping before all painting and primering.. removes contaminates and silicone so you dont get fish eyes
Light LIGHT key word skim of bondo on any minor rough spots and or low spots..
