The bumper isn’t too hard to paint chrome wise because it’s actual metal as opposed to plastic chrome parts like the grille and trim pieces. It’s easier to sand and get primer to bond to.

Nice, looks like you have a plan. @HiHoeSilver would be proud..... lol
I figured painting plastic “chrome” would be easier because I could just sand down to the plastic.

Many have tried to strip the chrome off of plastic all the way. And not been successful. At least from what I’ve seen from guys here. The plastic chrome coating is pretty difficult to deal with. And it’s harder to get paint to bond to. Where as paint will bond to your metal bumper a lot easier.
