the paint is Krylon... just regular spray paint. did 3 coats, progesively getting heavier, then topped it off with 2 coats of clear, sanded the chrome with 280, but covered the whole bumper to make sure that it would all be rough enough to grab the paint... a few very small runs hear and there and 1 or 2 scratches.. but I like it... thanks for the responses
