I tell ya, Im getting a better understanding on why so many bumpers are
painted!
Actually it's really more of trying to find some place that does a good job
of chroming them. I was going to get a rear (late model) for my 71 Notch
from ISP, and Anthony suggested I find a good used one, since the Cali
chrome won't withstand the Michigan weather (without exposing it to road salt).
:O According to him, the Cali chrome is crap compared to the OE German
chrome, and he SELLS replated bumpers. A lot of it is due to EPA and California
regulations on what you can and can't dump into the air and water. And to
be compliant, the good stuff isn't used anymore.
