Where to stop clear?

I'm painting over a "chromed" plastic headlight bucket. Sanded and primered, but I want to leave a small 1/2 inch ring of the chrome at the front of the bucket, for dressing. Soooo, if I stop the clear at the paint, then there's going to be an open edge. But if I go over the chrome, I don't think it will adhere.

What are my options? Do I need to forget about trying to keep the chrome edge and just paint it all?
