Re: bumper plastics on a chormie
you need to get a decent PLASTIC PRIMER this is the key to stop the cracking and peeling of the paint and also good prep work
make sure the bumber is clean then key it up with some sand paper then clean again
its all in the prep work towards having a long lasting finish
