Yes that works as long as the chrome not peeling that will work done it before no problem but powder coasters almost always sand blast.

My powder guy said he’s doing a already powdered coated bumper for 325.00 I asked about chrome and said they can do a good sanding job and powder them I think same price.

Please let me clarify my earlier statement. I agree with 33 IMP's (post #27) statement that black bumpers look good on some trucks. Black bumpers on cars are a recent development (think tuner car crowd or plastic bumper covers on modern cars like the one in my avatar) and screams laziness when on a classic muscle car IMHO. Fortunately, each person is entitled to do what they want with their own cars.
On a side note: I asked my powdercoater about doing a couple pieces in chrome but he said he doesn't recommend it because when he tries to clear coat it the part begins to haze/fog. He did suggest a powdercoat that looks like an anodized color (like black chrome). Next time I'm there, just for grins, I'll ask him for bumper recommendations.

Sometimes you have your answer before even asking the question. Find a reputable chromer and do yours. Everyone always shuts up about the price when they are pretty. You complain every time you look at it after cheaping out.

That’s what I thought too, I was pleasantly surprised when I called Escondido Plating.

Are they still in business? What were you quoted?
I'll drive a hundred fifty miles (one way!) for decent chrome at a decent price!

that's ok, I also got a reply that said if the chrome is in rough shape it will be exponentially harder for me to prep, sorry for the shitty pics, this is Scott, the Scottsdale

I can see using black bumpers on the truck in the picture. What are you going to do with the wheels? Black also? Powder coat them in black chrome, maybe the bumper too?
