Thanks for sharing your experience. I assume that the bumper inlay and guards on the '37 120C 4 dr. convertibles that came from the factory were painted black/red, I was surprised to see photos of some '37 120C's that were not painted. Were they painted a gloss black, etc. or satin?

I know from previous experience that it is difficult to get paint to stick to a chrome surface. The process I plan to follow is:
1.sand surface (220/320/400)
2.degrease/clean
3.tape
4.Prime with self-etching primer.
5.Paint with epoxy paint.
6.immediately/carefully remove tape.
