Well there is no stainless steel plating onto other metal process. =
Stainless steel is forged in furnaces using different compositions of =
elements to make different grades of stainless steel, some which are =
magnetic.

I will guess someone did a cheap chrome plating job, or a quick polish =
job.

Subject: [TR] Skin deep stainless steel
=20
Around 2008 or so I purchased stainless steel front & rear bumpers off =
or e-bay. Looked good fit OK. Last winter my TR was in an open carport =
with the front towards prevailing winds. And my front bumper rusted. I =
hit it with steel wool today and that "stainless steel" came off in =
flakes with a steel bumper underneath. I had no idea that you could =
plate steel with a thin layer of stainless. I didn't get what I paid =
for. Lasted fine in Arizona but couldn't handle a pacific northwest =
winter.
I guess the next SS bumper will need to be checked with a magnet. Anyone =
have a reliable source for real stainless steel TR3A bumpers?
