Bumper paint

Looking to paint my glass bumpers as bright a silver base coat as possible then clear them .
Not interested in Alsa or wrapping .
Anybody got a paint code or car year model I can give the paint supply ?

Thanks , Gary

Use a brite silver as a base coat and the the Chrome Rustoleum or Duplicolor. The silver base helps with the richness of the chrome. The problem then is to find and aerosol clear as a top coat. Some of the can clears can actually have yellow tints(especially when used over whites or silvers). You'll have to check with the manufacturers.

Thanks for the reply.
A lot of work to strip them and I don’t want to experiment and go through that again .
The former owner used spray can “chrome” and it was tough to get off

If you have $$$ the best way to have chrome looking paint is to have someone airbrush it. Adding the shadows and reflections over the silver looks better than a plain silver bumper.

Prismatic Powders sells chrome powder coating that is pretty shiny, and looks better than any silver paint from a can.

Not trying to walking on your thread... I've been kicking around a wrap for my bumpers (haven't looked too much into it yet.... I'm just curious, is there a reason why you don't want to go with a wrap?

Thanks!

I never had much luck painting my bumpers as I've tried several times. I just had my rear bumper wraped and I think it looks damn good. I'd post pics but this site is a pain to post on.

I’ve spoken to three or four rappers they all tell me how incredibly difficult it is and they’re talking about 800 bucks a bumper this is a race car . Also I am told it yellows after a couple of years and once it starts it goes quickly

my car only comes out on race day. Yellowing shouldn’t be a problem. It was about $200.00 for the wrap.

WOW $800.00 a bumper. Now I see why your looking at other alternatives.

Thanks!!

daviddean.have a pick of your wrap bumper

That’s basically an I don’t want to do it price .
The only guy that spent any time explaining said high quality chrome wrap is expensive. He can only buy an entire roll , and would never get it right the first time. He said the ability to stretch is critical and the chrome doesn’t stretch around the corner of the bumper and becomes distorted. So you have to remove and toss it and start again .

It does look good when done , but this is a race car and glass bumpers always seem to get knocked around at least mine have . That’s why the repaint

So does anyone have a bright silver paint code?????

PM me I'll text or email you one.

This was wrapped about 10yrs ago for $275. I'm sure the price has gone up since then like everything else.

I painted mine in the brightest silver I could find. I have the code at home, and can get it for you.

Thanks tough looking car by the way

PPG Basecoat 916293, GM code:WA8867

I painted my buddies front bumper at the same time as mine. He had used the spray can “chrome “ as well. Was not fun stripping that gunk off.

Somehow every picture I have of my car it’s either dark or cloudy.
