<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica;font-size:10pt;color:black"><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid blue; padding-left: 3px;">Chrome paint???? How could you guys be seriously discussing painting the <br>
chrome bits of a half century old (give or take) Triumph? It is <br>
something I would imagine a kid might do with a rusty old car that had <br>
one foot in the wrecking yard and the other almost there. That is so <br>
tacky. A race to the bottom of the resale value.</blockquote></div>
<div> <font size="3">Of course, painting or other process rather than replating might just mean that the $500-800 per bumper for quality rechroming could be put into needed bodywork, engine rebuilding, or 1000 other tasks necessary to get the car going safely, if not to a mythical "Concours-quality" appearance. The pretty stuff can come later; some folks would rather enjoy the car from the driver's seat, where it's hard to see the bumpers. ;)</font><br>
