" From: AMC74Hornet@xxxxxxxxx (Mr. AMC) " " 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. " "Doc" the only thing i'd change is find a chrome plating shop to strip the plating off. if you could find a 'strip 'n dip' place to give it a phosphate bath, that's a very good anti-corrosion/paint-adhesion step. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
