Yeah, no problem. I taped off the chrome and scuffed the letters up with some fine grit sandpaper; I later found out that you can take the letters out of the chrome part but I've heard its a pita. Then I sprayed it with some adhesion promoter (Bulldog is some good stuff) then spayed some primer, a couple coats of base coat, and about 8 coats of clear. The clear didn't build too high so it blends in nice and helps protect the paint since the front end sees a lot of wear. I've ended up repainting it once because of bugs and other stuff like that. Prepping and the adhesion promoter is the key to making it come out nice.
