[Marshall V. Daut]

Wide chrome tape looks very good if carefully applied and smoothed out with a squeegee. Trim and fold the excess width just barely over the edges of the bumper bar. The bumper bar surface must be very smooth with no deep pits or missing metal chunks, otherwise the tape will conform to these depressions and ruin the smooth finish. Spray the backside of the bumper with aluminum or cadmium paint. You might be surprised how good chrome tape looks on Model A bumpers, certainly eons above spraying the bars with paint. The tape won't fool anyone into thinking the bars are plated, but it does look pretty decent.
