Good  question since I need to do that for the FrankenBenz. I was planning 
on just  taping off the chrome but I have two broken grills upon which I can 
experiment  if anyone has a suggestion on how to R&R the chrome.   
I'm  going to sand the plastic, apply a Bulldog Adhesion Promoter spray, 
then my  standard Duplicolor primer, color, and clear. Since I had the 
FrankenBenz  painted Chrysler PS2 Bright Silver instead of Mercedes 744 Bright 
Silver I  have color matched spray cans purchased at Pep Boys!

I was able to find in the local Pep Boys store some chrome-like  body trim 
with a mastic backing that I overlaid on the cracked and peeled chrome  
pieces on my 560SEC grill.  While the pieces were slightly wider than the  
originals, the observer can not really tell it has been repaired.
