Have you tried a base coat of gloss black like when using Alclad? "A picture is worth a thousand words but a model is worth a thousand pictures" - Harley J. Earl

Hi steve used zero chrome on the front bumper which required black base coat, one coat of clear and then zero chrome air brushed over....not to happy with the overall finish....i do have a spare front bumper which i will be airbrushing with Alclad chrome. On a happier note i have completed re-spray of front end and semi gloss black to the front grills....very happy with the finish  nick wells attached the following image(s):

still not sure abut the chrome finish, tempted to re-spray with Alclad looks a little more aggressive with darker chrome but not sure nick wells attached the following image(s):
