i am doing a fiberglass front bumper on my 72 barracuda and am wondering what you guys use for paint that resembles chrome/silver? i dont want to do body color and i know it will be more silver than chrome but what is everyone using? i will do a rear soon but not now, thanks and any pics, paint codes etc would be much appreciated.

I had a guy do mine, It looks like chrome, but it is pricey!
Will take pic and post soon.

i have read about the chroming where they spray it with a brass/bronze metallic paint so the chrome will stick but thats way too much money, i thought about trying to wrap it but i dont think it would work either.

Did my front bumper with alsa, ghost chrome. Looks great and has held up good. But...... It's not chrome.

I saw a GTX at Carlisle last year that had glass bumpers painted with House of Color silver. Looked pretty good.

There is a new paint process that looks just like chrome but I don't know who does it or what it's called. Arnt I helpful?

I am gonna try vinyl wrap on mine.

thanks for all of the ideas, i will check into them, thanks!

Alternative Chrome Creations in Haysville, Kansas can do this and it will look EXACTLY like chrome.

It is kinda spendy, though...

I think a there's a flyer at work about chrome paint. I'll check for you Monday.

Mine is painted silver with clear coat. Does not look at all like chrome but looks nice.

If you're willing to do some exacto knife work, this would be a cheap way. I've used this on some small bicycle parts and it looks real.
Two rolls would do it. Cheap enough to try, and if it looks bad peel it off.

Check the Eastwood company. I know they have a product out there. Let us know what you find.

Wrap it

Where do you get the chrome wrap Monte?

Amazon has chrome wrap, I picked some up last week

Anyone that does vinyl wrap, or places that supply it will have chrome. And it looks like chrome, is light, cheap and easy to apply with patience and a heat gun

im leaning towards the wrapping, i will check some local companies that wrap vehicles and see what i cam come up with, thanks guys

I have some 3m chrome that is stretchable but it tears as soon as you touch it with a heat gun. I may try the heat gun once it's wrapped to eliminate any wrinkles.
