That stuff isn't supposed to be chrome. It's polished underneath but when stock it is supposed to have a rubber paint like substance on it. I think it's held on by a double sided adhesive, so if I were you, I'd wait till an unwindy day and just mask the hell out your car, then paint. Use that blue tape stuff for home interior paint, that doesn't stick so much but will do fine.
