Well, everyone has budget constrains nowadays, and the chrome was PEELING off of the front bumper in chunks. I used an entire can of primer on each bumper and then a can of Textured Metallic paint from Rustoleum. Used on truck bedliners.

It is on all of the highlights. Rims too. When it chips, I spray on a new coat. Headlight bezels too.

A lot of people do not like it cause they are SUPPOSED to be chrome. But, 80% like it cause it is different. If it was a snobby GTO, I most likely would not have done it.
