Just curious why you are painting them?? Depending on the car many repo chrome bumpers are cheaper than the paint supplies today plus your time and labor.

I have to buy paint for the rest of the car anyway, so that really doesn't make any difference ... my time and labor are free and have seen a few Novas with painted bumpers that match the color of the car. At this point I am just kicking it around -- hell, tomorrow I may change my mind and get repops. With that being said -- have you any suggestions for a 71' Nova bumper vendors?

Thanks -- The TAZ ...
