[brans72]

Send them to a chrome shop and have them striped (probably $50 or less for a walk in customer). If they get it down to at least the nickel you can build from there, or they can go all the way to bare metal, but that takes longer and time is money. Either way you can epoxy prime and do bodywork, prime and paint

save yourself the trouble of grinding,sanding and wasting $$ on chemicals,the quickes, cheapest and easiest way is to drop it off at powdercoating shop,they can remove all chrome,apply etching primer and powdercoat it,it will outlast any paint, my guy charges me $40-60 a bumper
