Bumper Paint

Funny one for anyone out there. I will have to get a picture of my plugs on here soon. I bought a Chrome car bumper spray paint. It worked wonders on a home made plug. With a little glitter on top before it dried, and then a bunch of clear coats. It was impressive. Has anyone tried this before? or do I need to contact a dodge dealer.

I tried it but ended up with some adhesion issues with the clear coat, looked awesome till I started fising it. Has yours hit the water yet?

Sspray that bad boy with a clear coat before you try to epoxy it. If you don't the epoxy will fish eye badly! please don't ask me how I know this

I wish I would have read these posts before now. So I Sprayed a clear coat on the bumper paint. Half of them came out really nice. The others cracked. The fun part is the cracks with the clear coat sorta look like scales. The truth is we are so close to fishing I just don't care to re-sand them to normal. Thanks for the advice though. I am going to try them in the water this week.

The ones that cracked, the silver was not completely dry.
