Don,
Thanks for your transparency, as I told you in email, I had no plans to share where the bumper was purchased, I was/am just looking for feedback; as this is my initial experience with rechroming.
I tried, with great trepidation, 0000 steel wool. I still don’t understand the concept as these are small pits…not bumps. They remain small pits.
I get what you are saying about “over restoring”. Right above this front bumper is a grill that needs work, stainless trim with a ding, etc. My concern remains what happens in this area over the next fee years…does pitting spread (Delta variant like?) or is a new trigger required for more pitting? I’ll give you a shout to day to figure it out.
BTW, I put the rear (flawless) bumper on last night. Even with the original taillight metal needing replacement it looks AWESOME.
