Painted Bumpers...

Don't they use some kind of acid to etch the chrome?

Dog here's what I used to "etch" the chrome on my bumpers after I scuffed them with 80 grit and cleaned them.

Thanks is it expensive?

it runs about $20-25 for a can if I remember correctly. But one can is way more than enough to do front and rear bumpers. Only need a mist coat, then you lay down your regular primer.

If they are chrome bumpers and the chrome is not flaking off...you can powdercoat them. We do it all the time at our shop. Check out our website, I think we have a couple pics of bumpers on there. http://topdogpowdercoating.com

x2! I'm a big advocate of powercoating too. I have my own set-up at home and I rarely paint anything anymore.
