Best thing to do with a chrome bumper is, beed blast them, take it back to steel with no finish at all. You need to fix any rust issues, obviously that might need debating. Then acid etch rattle can and halfords satin black FTW

so i could get it bead blasted and thats good for getting re painted properly ? as i can get bead blasting done ..

First thing i did when i got my Tech 1 sport was pull out the carpets and remove the kit.
I reckon 99% of them have some rot hidden somewhere,i was luckey enought just a few small
holes in the floor and bulkhead and the lower outer arch under both skirts.

it will all be done, but i wanted to just enjoy it for a couple of months until winter comes and also needed it to get around in, completing it parts wise and getting everythign working etc, tax runs out 31st october, and it will be garaged and sorn, and the fun cam commence to get it fully sorted over the winter to come out in the spring all nice and finished , so thats the plan, once the kit comes off it will stay off, carpets up, underside all refurbed and re sealed and waxoyl the chassis etc and any welding and paint done
