I used a 400 grit sand paper to prep the chrome lining. Wet sanding is always best. Also I recommend Dupli-color products. I used their plastic adhesion promoter (which is a good primer), then their Universal Black Auto Spray then finally the clear coat. My grill turned out perfect, just take your time and follow the directions on the back of the cans.
Havent done it, but make sure you get the adhesion primer if you want the paint job to last a reasonable amount of time. Id get whatever the finest sand paper you can find is.
