paint will stick to neither.... will not stick to chrome or recycled plastic, buy a non chrome bumper, and a paint-able valance

Hardware store sells Zinsser primer
This stuff sticks to dirt!
If you you really insist on using your chrome bumper,
You can primer with this stuff and re-paint,
But it's BEST to get a non-chrome
