Clean clean and clean them again. Since these are solid colors your using, you can go over the chrome with a scotchbrite or lightly blast to help with adhesion. I would out gas those at 450 degrees for an hour to see if the chrome will hold up. If it bubbles/blisters it should be stripped. I would spray the chrome first and fully cure it. Do the red next 1/2 - 3/4 cure and then shoot the whole rim with clear and fully cure according to the cure instructions for the clear. If you spray the chrome over the red, theres a good chance it will bleed thru.
