Thanks......

what kind of car...what color will the car be?

[Ralph LoGrasso]

I generally prefer a monotone look on almost all cars; painted, but there are some exceptions.

I just saw Ryan's (Rybar) car and I am convinced that I will paint my rear bumper(s) instead of having them re-chromed. Same with the front bumper. It will be painted.
Ryan's car.

I like a painted front, especially with a RS, and a chrome rear.

It is very much dependent on the car and the desired look. Often, though, I like painted, which is probably why I like the 77 Z28 much more than the 74-77 Camaro.

by veiwing his profile I would say it is a 67 NOVA and IMO chrome would look best! But the color of the car will also effect this!

Yes its a 67 nova it will be a type of a Prowler orange,with a leather interior and 17' wheels.

what are your plans for around the windows as far as the trim goes.....I would say chrome they re-pop those bumpers they are pretty reasonable!

I think that is the color of Steve's 68 (http://www.z069.us/)

Very nice, it really pops. I agree with above, it very much may depend on the other trim on the car, but I think with that color either way would look nice.

Thanks, the color is close to that maybe a little bit lighter.
It is going to have chrome trim all around the windows but thats it. there is going to be no moldings down the side of the car.

I would go with chrome bumpers!

Steve's car is Prowler Orange. I would say chrome on a '67 Nova.

i plan on doing a painted front and chrome rear..

[onebad2]

Thanks guys im having a hard time deciding.

[BonzoHansen]

Maybe you could paint one and have an old chromer laying around and try them both?

[onebad2]

Yea thats a good idea.

[brickyard69]

Is there any special prep neccessary to paint over chrome other than the obvious (sand/prime/seal)?

[crazyfireman]

Chrome would look great with the other accents in my opinion
