Enjoying my time in the shop this snowy winter. Almost done.
Working on the hood over the next month.
Having a tough time finding Stainless rear and front bumpers.
Snyders, Brattons, mikes. No one has any in stock and am being told won't be for awhile.

While your work is to be admired, I'd love to acquire a car like you started with so I could fix it mechanically but drive it looking like it does in the "before" photo.
ONE DAY!
 
I think that you will find a good quality "Chrome" spray can paint will do just fine and look fairly decent - until such time as a suitable replacement becomes available. When I did my '30 Coupe with 'Chrome' spray paint, I was very pleased and it stayed on the car for years.
 
Its a great feeling isn it,, looks superb

Ck with little Dearborn or tams for the bumpers.. maybe they have some left over stock
 
DI sprayed the bumper on my pickup with rattle can chrome.Looks good and if it gets scratched just do it again.

Sewall

I do have the originals however the cost to refinish them was a lot more than new ones. I may just repaint the, for now until new ones are available.

The front bumper that came on your car is a 1930-1, as shown above.

Here is the Rustoleum chrome paint, as used on the inside of the bumper horns, which don't take chrome well, on my 1950 Studebaker. The car was restored 23 years ago, and the insides of the bumper horns were getting rusty, so I sandblasted them and sprayed them with Rustoleum chrome paint a couple years ago.

BTW, your car looks fantastic. :)
