Re: Chrome Bumper Painting



You may want to check with your paint supplier on recommended prep. You'll probably need to sand the blaster area since sand blasting leaves a pretty rough surface.

I was thinking about painting the bumpers on my orange Hornet body
color. I can't find a local chrome plating shop and don't trust sending
a bumper half way across the country to an unknown shop never mind the
shipping costs. I figured I might as well shave the bumper bolts too and
remove those horrible looking  big rubber bumper guards. There is a
cemetery monument place right up the street from where I live that does
sand blasting and I figure if I get them blasted clean and prime them
with a self etching primer and the paint will stick alright. I will
however add some Morton's Impact 200 to the orange paint.This is used
when you paint urethane parts and lets the paint remain flexible and not
crack. I should also make the paint more chip resistant on the bumpers.
