I love the mono-chromatic paint scheme. I had a yellow 69 Firebird done up the same way. I think it looks better than the chrome bumper. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

yeah the owner thought it would look better painted than chrome and i have to say i agree...

Sweet!

What did you do to prep the chrome bumper for paint?

thanks,
I sanded it with 80 grit on my DA, primered, wet sanded, and sealed it.
