Please post new photos if you redo the bumpers, so we can see the difference.

So I removed and re-did the bumper chrome by using gloss black enamel vs the lacquer I used first.  While I still like using the enamel better than lacquer in this case as a base I'm not sure the problem originally wasn't just poor coverage on my part.  Each time I use the Spaz Stix in the rattle can I learn more on how, and how much,  to apply.  I see a big difference in person, but I'm not sure you guys see as much.  Lesson learned I guess.  And that's all part of the fun of the hobby.

Definitely improved; did you get closer to the bumpers or spray a heavier coat?

Both Chris.  I think somewhere along the way I'd read that heavier coats wouldn't yield a shiny finish, but to rather shoot light coats from a distance.  I won't say I laid down a "wet coat" on these but they were much heavier than I've done in the past.  I'm happy with the results.  A light polish after they're dry really helps too.
