Fixing up 68 Skylark to driver quality and cost of bumper rechroming, plus shipping both ways, is out of budget. Has anyone used powdercoating to simulate chrome? Looks good enough 20 feet away? Any examples? Thanks Jeff
I had some park lamp assemblies on my '62 Lincoln done with something like Spectra Chrome, which is more like paint than it is powder. It is apparently very difficult to work with. It looked great for about a year or so, than it turned yellow. OEM manufacturers use something called PVD Chrome for wheels. I think it's more like a powder. But it has a bit of a texture to it, and also a rainbow effect at times. It certainly does not have the shine or depth of real chrome. On a large surface like a bumper, I don't know how it would look. Maybe someone who has actually had it done will chime in.
