Bumper painting advice?

I would sand, epoxy and paint as mentioned but also make sure that you have good paint on the inside of the bumper as well. You don't want problems with the chrome lifting off of the steel later. This goes for bumpers that are left chrome also. I think it will look good painted
Agree, I sanded and epoxied mine and sprayed them in Eastwood under hood black. Bullet proof.
 
14 yrs ago, my 67,
Started with 80 grit, filled a couple dings, next 180 , then 320.
Worked that 320 for awhile,
2 wet coats DP 90 ppg epoxy,
2 coats of ppg base , 3 more ppg 3000 clear.
Still doing fine .

That's definitely a legit testimony!
 
I just love this look on the 71 and 72 Plymouths!

I had definitely planned to weld the bolts too......I have even considered possibly removing the heads altogether, but I also wonder if that may concentrate the pull of the nuts into too small an area and cause a convex in the face bar???.... decisions, decisions! Lol
Not if you weld a good sized washer on the back of the bolt
 
80 the chrome than clean and heavy prime. Block wet with 220 0r 320 reprime than 500 or 600 make sure scratches are out than paint.
