Im not really clued up on chrome,but im under the impression that nothing sticks to it
I suppose to provide a key for the paint you would have to either strip all the chrome off or at least sand it till its rough all over and no shiny patches or sections left anywhere
Dr S got there first ,he's better to advise you

I'm a little surprised by that as my road frame has 1/2 chromed rear end with paint overlapping on it, and weren't the original stumpjumpers chromed then painted?. I's probably not the best surface to paint on to but I can't believe that nothing will stick to it. A decent frame builder/restorer should help you - try Bob Jacksons
Nice example of paint over chrome:
Similar to my bike where the chrome extends way past the start of the paint (only found out the chrome extended all the way after a heavt chainsuck incident. A number of frame builders in the 70s used chrome under paint to give extra sparkle and shine.
