Not sure if anyone has seen my build thread but I am at a crossroad.
I had painted bumpers and My plan was to repaint them and put them back on. I have been leaning on getting the front one Chromed and possibly buy a better condition rear one to be chromed. Obviously cheapest and fastest is to repaint my bumpers now but I wanted to see what you guys though about the choice. Below is the car at it's current stage. Attached image(s) |

FWIW, I once heard that the painted bumpers from the factory were ones that weren't perfect (for chrome) so they could have some filler etc, may need some work before chroming. I don't know if that is true, just something I heard back in the day...
I've seen a pic of silver painted bumpers that look good, let me find it... |
