Personaly, I'd key the surface with some emery cloth and then use 2k primer.

What did you eventually use and how did it come out? I've got a chromed Indian GP headset that needs sorting.

I've blasted some chrome bits (didn't remove chrome) that gave a good enough surface to be powder coated, think a roughed up surface would paint ok.
