You might want to use some kind of acidic metal prep to etch the chrome & allow adhesion.

EDIT - Never mind... too late now :-)

Don't do it.. that stuff sucks. I did the bed on my superduty and it was a mistake. That stuff peels off if you look at it wrong in huge chunks.. i did the pre-clean on it and everything.

I've never heard anyone complain about the stuff. What brand did you use?
