I hope someone can help me, I've searched a bit but for every hit I get I also get a different answer...
I'd like to get a smooth front bumper and since buying a new paintable one here costs about $280 and it's not even OE. I went looking at the junkyards and found a OE one but it's chrome, I want to colormatch it so I'm wondering, how do I get the paint to stick to the chrome? Sand it a bit to rough up the chrome and then use etching primer? Or do I need to have it blasted?
