Curious if anyone has done it, and if not, if there is a reason it can't be done?
There was a recent thread where it was suggested that the painted bumpers were different than the chrome ones, but I suspect the thickness and hardness has a lot to do with the chroming process/layers. Thoughts? Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) pete |

I did it years ago, when I first got the car. The result was great!
That was nearly 24 years ago and it still looks good. |
