Best Black Paint to Paint 1971 Grille "Headlight Black" Detail?

Hello,

The black painted detail that surrounds the headlight bezels on my 1971 Blazer has become so cracked and falling off that it's time to repaint that area with the grille off the truck and the area masked off.

I wanted to ask the group a few questions about this process:

1. What's the best paint to use that will stick to the chrome and look factory?

2. What the best way to remove the old paint without damaging the chrome? (maybe Brasso, Paint Stripper, Oven Cleaner?) So far I've removed most of the old paint with Brasso (a slightly abrasive metal/chrome polish)

3. Any special prep to the chrome to get the paint to stick?

Thanks!

-Ian
