Default painting front grill?

so i want to do the front grill of my 99 a4 flat black ...
<a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/5cmvj7.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>
what do i need to do to the chrome before i paint ...
do i need to strip it with thinner or something similar ...
or if i paint it then put a flat clear coat on will it protect it enough from chipping away and revealing the chrome ????
