Now i need to know what brand/type of paint i should use to paint the outer frame. I brought some spray paint from Autozone, but i dont think it's the right kind, seeing that it peels off easily. Probably shoulda asked b4 i brought but oh well.

Those are the trim lights, on the corners?
If so, just delete them with Euro trim.

Just sand it such that the paint will bond better. Chrome is no good for it
