TeriAnn noted:
Chrome paint???? How could you guys be seriously discussing painting the
chrome bits of a half century old (give or take) Triumph? It is
something I would imagine a kid might do with a rusty old car that had
one foot in the wrecking yard and the other almost there. That is so
tacky. A race to the bottom of the resale value.
Of course, painting or other process rather than replating might just mean
that the $500-800 per bumper for quality rechroming could be put into needed
bodywork, engine rebuilding, or 1000 other tasks necessary to get the car going
safely, if not to a mythical "Concours-quality" appearance. The pretty stuff
can come later; some folks would rather enjoy the car from the driver's seat,
where it's hard to see the bumpers. ;)

*Man: Well, no ... It's not so much of a jet, it's more your, er, Triumph
Herald engine with wings.
