Going backwards from what the OP asked...
Is it possible to unpaint a painted chrome bumper and have it look decent?
Method?
Tools?
Products?
TIA!
Like Mark said, it all depends on what they did to paint it.
If the paint is on really good, I'd probably pass on trying that as the chrome is going to be scratched, sand blasted, or acid etched and may not shine again.
Best bet is to hold out for a good bumper, but they've gotten on the $pendy side
PO for my car went full black-out, and painted the bumpers, trim, and anything else that was shiny with black. And did a nasty job sanding everything first, including the bumpers.
Now I am trying to undo this, and restore the original 1973 2 liter look. My bumpers are in good shape besides the paint. I keep watching for chrome bumpers in 90% condition so I do not have to pay for re-chroming, but have not seen anything at a decent price.
