when i did mines, i used a rotary sander and standed it to the plastic, and that wasn't nessisary. it just made a whole lot more work. just sand off the top chrome layer. and it won't look "great" becasue i think only a shop can make it look really good, unless you have the factory black. (if your cars black)

I would take it to a shop, spray paint on the front of a vehicle won't last you more than a few months at best, and all of that prep work and having to redo it again will suck. Even if a body shop sprays it, its going to get chips, spray paint will be even worse. I would also sand all the way through the chrome to the black plastic underneath so when the chips start occuring, the chrome won't show through the paint
