I did the Noddy Mod Marcus came up with to repair pitted and deteriorated chrome on the bumpers.
The pictures don't really do it justice, but the repair is top notch. Some of the best money I have spent on the car. Thanks again, Marcus, for the idea and supplying the materials!
Took me about an hour to do the front and rear bumpers. I used paint prep to clean the existing chrome before applying the tape.
Here are some picts. 1600x1200 picts are available at http://images.spmiller.org/markviii/chrome
