majel Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I'm getting ready to paint a '57 Chevy funny car. The molded in front bumper is going to be painted chrome using Alclad. I have already painted it gloss black to prep for the chrome. My question is would it be better to paint the body and tape the black and paint the chrome last, or can i paint the chrome now and tape it off before painting the body? I'm not sure how Alclad would hold up being taped.
High octane Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 From what little I know, I would paint the chrome last if I were building that model. Good luck.

majel Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 I agree with the better choice being Molotow, but i had already used Alclad for the rear bumper and the few other chrome parts so i want it to match. Thanks for the replies, i think I'll take your advice and spray the chrome last.
