How are chrome bumpers painted? Can they be purchased in plain steel or is chrome "treated" to accept paint?

I do know they can be purchased plain or chromed. They should be "de-chromed" before painting. I'm sure others with more experience will chime in. If its plain bumpers, or chrome, your looking for perhaps an ad in the Parts Wanted Forum will help out.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

old norse, I purchased a painted rear bumper from classic parts.com. It assembled onto the brackets with no issues.
