I purchased the "Killer Chrome" kit to use on my fiberglass bumpers from PRI.
Does anyone have any experience with this product. If so do you have any comments. I can't wait to get those big black rubber baby buggy bumpers of my 79 Spitty.
This is something I might be interested in for my TR3 windscreen stanchions. I won't have the windscreen on that often, but the shape that they are in, any help they get would be better then what they are now. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
My nephew painted an MGB bumper with "black bumper paint" and it turned out really nice. I'm not sure where he got it. His Dad ran a car dealership so they have great resources for supplies. Check with Autozone or the like to see what is offered there.
Just my 2¢ - back when I had a '76 MG I was told by "those in the know" to use old fashioned black shoe polish on the old bumper - rub on, polish to a shine.
Was much less expensive than special bumper paint. After four years it's still dark black and shiny.
It worked *great* /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
Griot's garage sells some... I have some on plastic on a volvo for about a year, still looks goon. No interest in griot's, just passing on my experience.
I was just driving thru /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/driving.gif & wondering how do you get the cent sign behind the #2 /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif
No experience with thisproduct,but "chrome" powder coating is another option. This would first require that the bumpers be "painted" with a conductivecoating.
Looks alright to me. The price would play a big factor in my decision. Probably wouldn't mind paying a little more for real chrome, but if it's significantly cheaper, I'd probably go for powder coating.
I have used a few products from Alsa Corp with good results. Haven't used the Killer Chrome yet but the website has application information and videos/pictures showing the process and results. It does need to be painted over high gloss black and clear coated afterwards.
