I have looked around and found to many mixed opinions.
Can you strip and paint chrome bumpers? Or Just sand and paint? Or just not waste your time or money?

 

Plasti-Dip sticks well on chrome and all the prep you basically need to do is clean the surface well (although a coat of adhesion promoter doesn't hurt). Nice thing about this is you can cut it and peel it off if you want to later and the chrome underneath has been protected all this time.

If using actual paint then yeah you need to strip or at least scuff up the surface really well...

 

I knew i could count on you to give a great opinion! And more than one at that, i think ill weigh my options and figrue out how to get this chrome gone

 

Dupli Color Shadow has adhesion promoter in the paint so all you have to do is clean and spray

 

Ive been keeping up with everyone that has used this and i am not impressed at all. Fading not getting the right look and a bunch of other stuff.
Plasti dip sounds like its had a better run with the guys around here.... with that being said do they do plasti dip in colors? I can say i have no idea what the heck it is or what it looks like.

Well thats different. I may try it i may not.
Thanks for the link though Hammer

 

I've done my wheels, bumpers grill and rocker bars all in plasti-dip. It's been a couple of months since I did it, very pleased with everything so far except it's wore off on the step bar where I step and twist my foot where it doesn't hit the plastic, so that kinda sucks. Everywhere else I love it.

 

I will say the Dupli Color did come out darker than I expected. It's more black than black chrome really. I was expecting a NightRunner type look but It could have just been me using too many coats. I like the look but it not what is advertised really. I would have just done plasti dip but I'm fearful of rock chips from driving

 

I was thinking the plasti Dip will either be rock chip proof or its gonna be rock chip friendly
