    Trying to bring back the style of car that you just mask the windows and shoot a nice color of pink, teal or purple over the body, trim, bumpers. Actually I picked up a front bumper for my 53 Stude and the chrome is flaking real bad, going to end up painting the bumper.
    How do I go about prepping for paint?

    Pastels are for golfers. I myself don't have pants ugly enough to play golf. It blows. Anyways, sandblast the bumpers and any chrome and paint will stick like Michael Jackson to a Cub Scout camping trip.

    Gotta admit...that Stude was a cool car when it was a fresh build......in 19881.. it was in the same issue of Hot Rod as CadZZilla. Imagine.......

    Ugh! Last weekend I went out on the town with the guys. I caught the last train back home...the drunky express! During my travels I saw two fresh piles of puke. As I write this, I'm eating lunch...thanks for the reminder of my train ride home!

    Buzznut, I'm from the NW so I'm used to the har***ment, and mooning and the "have you seen my new belt buckle" No easter egg for me, bumpers are going on a Bonneville project, rather spend money on something else than replating bumpers.

    Well hell bro...why you holding out on us? You need to choose your words better so we don't think you're building an 80's billet puke bomb. So...show us the project....
