- If you have a rusty bumper that you want to repair, restore and re-chrome without spending thousands of dollars then this video is for you. We're going to show the full process from stripping the rust off, priming it, painting it, and re-chroming it all within an hour, and it's only going to cost us $100. When we're done it will resemble a 1937 DeSoto ribbed bumper 🚨

So gluing shiny plastic strips to metal is now called chroming...LMAO
Seriously...the 5000 people hanging on this guy's pecker in the comments saying this plastic pep boys stuff is really a thing, is sadly hilarious
Bad Chad is one cool dude!! Thank you for what you do Sir!
I was in the Automotive Service business for 26 years and now I sit at home missing being in the business and around the Techs and their families and the customers. It was my life and they were my family!
I became disabled at 57, I feel like I’m going a little crazy sometimes from loneliness and generally miss not being around the People and the shop smells and feelings that go with it.
You have brought me joy! I feel like you are the real deal, and I again can almost feel like I’m in the shop again making things happen and getting things done!!
Again thank you Bad Chad for being really good Chad!!
You are a good guy with a really big heart, helping me and a lot of other people just like me.
Yessir, I know what you are saying! I am now working from home because of all the COVID craziness. I miss, and am sure many more do as well, being around my fellow workers. It has been a long 2 years! I am afraid this is gonna be the new normal. This is NOT gonna go well for companies in the future, because we all do better if we are around each other and working as a team to accomplish a goal. This working separately as a team will impact peoples mental health and cause us to become further a part. Just my take!
Pretty good idea turned out good
I have enjoyed every day of my retirement. 12 years now? I am divorced many years now and never get lonely. Everyone is different but I was always someone who could spend time alone. tho... that is pretty rare these days. I am fortunate to have friends I have had for sometimes half a century but also younger people who I used to supervise but still drop by couple times a week. The other thing is that I have a lot of hobbies. too many LOL. I have been nickel plating some tools and firearms lately. I have always had guns and hot rods and Harley's (old ones) I handload ammo and go shooting with my friends on private property couple times a month. Every hobby I have means that I got to learn 4 more skills for it!! Not enough time in the day. I too am 'disabled' meaning in my case I was paralyzed from the waist down but have recovered toddler like balance and walking speed since (hey beats a wheel chair) What it means in my case tho is that the more things I can do without crawling all over some car or whatever the better off. making knives or gun grips is not heavy work and I find I stick with projects a bit better than before. Soooo many new tools and ways to do things lots to learn. Who would have thought back in the day we could get a stick welder for $75 that is the size of a shoe box? Also cordless tools. I just about have a cordless version of all my tools now. way simpler and less frustrating. Who would have thought you could silver or nickel plate smallish items at home? One thing tho is my house is a mess.... which is fine for my friends...people often just walk in or out. My GF does not care and lives 700 miles away so we see each other for a week or two every 3 months. those visits I kick everyone out for LOL Anyway... not knowing your situation... I was pretty bummed when they told me it was wheelchair only. But I already was lining up stuff that I could do but... being ornery by nature I managed to get some semblence of upright mobility. Used to love to go for long walks to think... had to just admit that is not gonna happen again. but I have discovered new things to do.
Dear Rick, please do not feel so alone. Many of us are in similar situations, and I was touched by your story, and it reminded me of how I used to be, and others I know. Loneliness is truly the most painful torture. I love you brother,wherever you may be. Life goes on, and people come and go, but I can say that the best friend I have ever had is Jesus
My favorite dude. He shows it real time how it is and a skill not many have anymore with the experience of adapting to change on the fly.
Hi Chad enjoyed this episode very much. Out of all the car channels on U Tube your outdoor setting is the most beautiful one. You and Jolene have a wonderful place to film. The decoration and design of your acreage is unique. Your White Rose sign took me back 62 years to when I was 10 years old. I used to fill my bike tires up at the White Rose station in Alberta. Another bonus is of your pure Maritime life style and setting like a breath of spring air! Please do me one favor Chad and give your dog Fina a pet when she comes close. Jolene regularly films her while you are working and I love animals. We have a real nice Dog Star in Alberta who is a major character in a U Tube car channel filmed on an acreage here. More Fina is good buy me! Sorry to blab on on but keep the good stuff coming guys it is my therapy.
OMG-- I LOVE LOVE LOVE the vintage-looking result!! So 1930s and GORGEOUS!!! Wish I could add this kind of bumper to my 2007 Subaru (i.e., more chrome...with super light baby blue paint...) I know that sounds weird..but I love the way the 5-speed manual drives. I'm in love with 1930-1950's cars. (My fave is Mercedez 300SL 1957...but will never be able to afford it...) Love those older vintage round and curved lines and all the chrome accents.
Glad Chad and Jolene are back. More tricks of the trade to be learned. Jolene still on her game with the camera.
Tanned, rested, and ready! You know, that looks surprisingly good. Better than I would have expected.
I really like these chrome adhesive strips, 😎👍 they are perfect for window frames or decorative strips etc .. But on a wider and more curved surface, such as a bumper, you could also use chrome vinyl films (car wrapping).
Greetings from Switzerland
I have used aluminum duct tape for chroming stuff get it at the hardware store it's for sealing furnace duct work comes in rolls 3 inches wide and 200 foot long for about $35.00 easy to apply just roll out the length you need , cuts easily with just scissors , Peel the backing off and stick it down take a rag and polish it to a shine this stuff is great and easy to do and it will last forever I use it for the bumpers and window trim even interior pieces , you will be able to get at least 3 complete cars easily with 1 roll of tape .
😂😂😂
Chad's has his ways and things he likes and I like to watch his videos, but would never use, but that freedom, right.
Thank you so much I have a 1970 xl ford tunnel back 429 4 barrel I looked everywhere to find a rear bumper now I can redo the rusted one I have Thanks again!!!
Thats awsome. Youd never tell if no one told ya. Great job.
Real art deco, very nice look.
just found you on u tube..i am so dog gone happy... life is better for this old man ..who just cut the back off his 1999 honda passport....
WOW!!! You are truly a BAD ASS, love watching your videos and getting ideas for my own builds because I am not a money man and I am always looking for budget ideas!! Thank you guys
Awesome, I Love It. I always have made what I have work. Thank You for sharing your time with us all.
Turned out nice. Thanks for the video
To help with making your chrome molding more flexible. Make yourself a worming box. 3/4" plywood 2' x 2' x 2' box with a hinged lid. Attach a light bulb base to the bottom of the lid. Run the wire out the top or hinged side of the box. I would give yourself 6' of cord with a plug. Get yourself a 40 watt incandescent light bulb. (Buy a couple for when any burn out) Place your molding in the box. Plug in the light and close the lid. Let the molding sit in the box a minimum of 15 to 30 min. (Times may vary in the size of molding and out side temp.) This will worm up the molding so it is more flexible for going around curves and such. We used these boxes for our door, side body and running board molding in the Van conversion industry. Plus it helps a lot in the cold winter months.
Great to see you guys showing us how you do this 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Bad Chad is the Pimp my Ride of 2024. Those cars use to fall apart after like a year. Painted “chrome”? I can’t believe anyone is actually paying for him to customize their cars unless he’s really cheap. 😂😂😂
I have a 31 Ford that with grungy bumpers. Was thinking about cleaning (wire & flapper wheel) them and then painting with chrome paint; however, after seeing your end product, I'm digging this approach.
We call that "blim trim". We used to use 'flex chrome' around hot tubs where they connect to wooden cabinet, to cover any cracks between tub and cabinet. We've built thousands of hot tubs with that for trim.
Great project and having decent trim really enhances a build! Welcome Back Chad and Jolene!
aS GOOOD AS THIS PRODUCT LOOKS, and as well as it stays, I wouldn't mind putting it on my meager attempts at auto creation. Thank You
That's awesome Bad "Chode"
Good stuff I'm old dude and I'm allways learning
Thanks for the teaching👍👍👍
Learning something new everyday...following your from Kenya everyday!
Like he said. Good enough for himself. But as a paying customer. I would want them chromed correctly or source a nice set of bumpers.
Cool idea, does that gorgeous rig behind you Ron, I just luv it.
BAD CHAD AT IT AGAIN AWESOME WORK YOU DO AND YOUR QUEEN!
Looks pretty cool..definitely like the look of it..glad to see you guys back...and school is in session..thanks to you both for an awesome channel...watch everyday
That's not re-chroming a bumper! That's covering it with plastic That's chrome color . In a year or 2 it will weather and start fading and pealing then u spend another 160 to redo. Why not just have it really recorded for about $280 and be done? Love bad Chad and his videos, don't like this idea.
Who cares it’s a wall hanger it won’t
Be susceptible to
The elements .
It’s false advertising first and foremost. And it looks like nothing more than a lumpy
bumper. Might as well paint it the same color as your car.. And ,I really doubt you’d do it to a show car, you’d be the laughing stock of the show
That's just a tip for someone who wants to do it that way nobody said you had to do it that way go do it anyway you want
@@danielmelcher5310. What you don’t understand , is the same thing that this wanna-be doesn’t understand…. And that is this ! There are millions of innocent TH-cam viewers who are very impressionable who will RUN W/THIS IDIOTIC IDEA & add a degrading quality to our already cheap & declining (Chinese influenced) American ingenuity & craftsmanship !
We DESPERATELY NEED to teach all the up & coming American youth & generations how to restore our 100 year old automotive history & traditions THE CORRECT & RESPECTFUL AMERICAN WAY ! Not some off the wall garbage approach to performing American Automotive restoration like the Chinese & Taiwanese do ! This joke of an Auto restorer needs to move his Side-show to CHINA ! He’d fit right in w/their low-grade quality !
@@SStudioproThank you for sticking up for everything America is supposed to stand for ! But it’s clowns like this cheap-shot who, by his actions. Is cheapening & destroying American ingenuity & American automobile history & heritage ! But what you’re missing, is that this guy is dead serious about putting this cheap POS plastic chromed bumper on a respectable restored American beauty !!! Just the fact that he’s spreading all these garbage ideas to all our impressionable & already lazy & not so skilled youth, just f’n KILLS ME !!! Because I KNOW, the MASTERS of Auto-fabrication & restoration, like George Barris, Ed Roth, and many others ! What they all had in common, was that although they were known for their Custom style, they stayed in keeping with a lot of the American iron back then & they also kept & increased the QUALITY of our ingenuity ! This guy is out in The Twilight-Zone for god sake ! He’ll drift off into Wanna-be land along with/all of his followers & subscribers who were nobody then & will be nobody again !
What you really mean is that "You can stick a cheap plastic chrome strip to very poorly 'rustproofed ?' surface.. To say that you are Chroming is the biggest laugh of 2023 !!!
Having worked for many years in the auto trim business, (Trim Line and Auto Trim Design) I recommend using a set of anvil shears to cut your chrome moldings. It allows for very precise cuts with almost no effort. Mine were 2 1/2 inches so that I could cut our chevy truck moldings in one cut.
Great to have you back, and thanks for showing how the Bad Chad Chrome stands up, buried in the bushes of NS is a real test for any adhesive and shine. thumbs up guys
You should look into chrome wrap! Not saying it is better way, but looks like cheap way to get smooth look if you like. I'm maybe going to weld my 3-piece bumper to 1-piece and then wrap it.
Powder coating is an option too!
@@michaelknotts6244 is it cheap and is it possible to do at home garage?
Anyone with lots of money can buy what they want if there willing to pay the price but Chad comes up with ideas that are awesome and doing it yourself is something I appreciate, your a awesome man Chad keep what your doing going because there’s many your helping
Great job on the bumper Chad. People need to realize…the stick on body mouldings have been used since atleast the 70’s (so…50+ years). 👍
Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two
Great idea, worked out real nice
I was really surprised it turned out as good as it did. Longevity is the word.
I truly appreciate your time in doing these videos! I just did a longbed to shortbed conversion and my first paint job on my old Squarebody, and for a garage paint job, it came out okay. I used single stage this time, and plan to perfect the body and repaint with base/clear next summer. I had fun doing it and learned a lot.
I’m
Like you said it pleases you ! Not for everyone but if ya want to do it Chad's way go for it ! It's cost efficient ! Thumbs-up Jolene 👍 and 👍 Chad
I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO ON COMPLETING CARS...IVE WATCHED LOTS OF YOUR VIDEOS, I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING BUT I TOOK IDEAS FROM YOU ON THR BUILD.. MOST PEOPLE ARE WATCHING AND THEY ARE NARROW MINDED THEY ARE USE TO 1 HOUR PROGRAMS SHOWING A START AND FINNISHED PROJECT..IT WOULD BE NICE TO FILL IN PROGRAMS WITH A START AND FINNISHED PROJECT ON THE SHOWS..HOW EVER I SEE WHAT YOUR TRYING TO DO IS EDUCATE INSTEAD OF ENTERTAINMENT..KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB..
This looks awesome, would never have thought about using the flexi chrome strip to do a bumper, and most of all Welcome back Chad and Jolene
Thankyou both for coming back on, none of the other shows are as good as yours Chad and Jolene. Cheers 😌
Next will be a video on
reupholster interiors with seat covers from the automotive aisle at Walmart. we've all seen cars at shows loaded with crap from the auto parts decorative aisle and they don't place or take awards. We saw him use this on one of the "customer" builds from his Discovery channel show which was later relieved to now sit in their personal collection with all the other builds from the show, there's a reason Chad didn't get resigned with discovery which is content not "perspective"
great to see both of you back so I have something good to watch again.
I WATCH A LOT OF YOUR VIDEOS, I PAINT IN MY BACKYARD -D.I.Y....YOU DO AWESOME WORK & YOU A KOOL DUDE, MUCH RESPECT MY FRIEND 🙏👍💯
those self stick will never stay put!
Good job. That look cool and puts a good spin on fixing an old bumper.
To all of you that criticize, put your product on line so we can judge you ! Like they say take what you can use and leave the rest. I’m sure you are perfect in your mind!
awesomecool!... thanks 4 video. be kind.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Love this because I can't afford a real chrome bumper for my car but I can afford this! Thank you Chad and Joleene for another great project. Carl
Had similar on my 31 Ford for 3 years, some peel after a short time, but a lot of it is in the prep work.
Really glad you dug the old bumper out of the scrap heap, I was curious about the durability 👍
in my experience it is poor the adhesive is ok but the shiny stuff has poor uv resistance and goes dull or peels off the rubber underneath flakes etc.
nice and easy project really no tools needed. Nice. thanks for the video.
Nice to see you both back at what you do best, entertain the people. And damm good at it. Thank you Chad, Jolene and Fina for what you do.
Wow that looks nice! Great job Chad and Jolene
Don’t it just look so great!!! Just look at it!!!
Guys nuts 😳 🤣
Great Idea!!!
Id never have thought of doing this, your videos are so informative 👍😃
That chrome bumper is a good representation of your work 👌
Ingenious method for making things look expensive inexpensively
Great idea 👍👍👍
I like the way you work.
That bumper is as 're-chromed' as some US restaurants call 'freshly cooked' when they microwave frozen food!
My kid had a sticker book..i am so proud of her...good job son
Thanks for sharing
Good stuff. I used that chrome back in the 1970s.
Great idea and it looks really good. Thanks.
Awesome idea. I’ve seen to bumpers but never knew how they did them. Way cool!!!
Hey Nice job Welcome back from your break. I am almost ready to start working out my garage at home. its only a 1 car pop up garage I set up. But what ever keeps me out of the rain. Should be done this weekend. Have to put some more gravel in my driveway tomorrow. and set up 1 more mini shed. for a paint room and tools
looks great
Glad to see y'all back.Always look forward to what's next.
Ocee
So glad you all had a great vacation!!! Glad you are back...love watching everyday!
Yes, welcome back Jolene and Chad. Hope you both have recharged by being away. The flex chrome is awesome. The bumper looks really good. Love the idea. So many things it can be used on as you showed in previous vlogs. Good job, Chad. Great video, Jolene as always.
Nice to see you back and refreshed
I’ll admit, when I seen 3/4 strips it wasn’t what I expected at all. Now that it’s done I like it just fine.
Glad you had a great vacation! Thanks for another great video 👍
Chad your a one of a kind luv your knowledge
Jolene always looks amazing and so does your work ❤
That's wild! If I can ever get my hot mess to the point where it might need chrome I'm going to remember this.
Like the look of the chrome on the bumper.
You guys remind me of my wife. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you for the great video and thank you for the ideal now I know what to do to my rusty bumper on my 1969 mach 1 thank you so much
Great to have you back. Glad you both enjoyed Florida!!
Got to admit I was 'skeptical until I realized you were making a ribbed bumper. My only problem now is the glue... I remain skeptical '
Glad you both are back. Love the green is coming back, and a new year gets started.
Straight Autozoned that bumper. 🤣🤣
good to have you back!
I’m spending almost $1700 to repair (has a few dents) and re-chrome a rear bumper for a 68 Ford Galaxie 500XL. It kills me to spend that much because a 78 Galaxie fastback is not a 68 Dodge Charger. I won’t make money on this car. I could not find a place that refurbishes and re-chromes classic car bumpers for a lower price than that.
Thats awesome..i was really surprised that after 10 yrs exposed to the elements, that it still looked good
I love these videos, you learn a little every time!!!
A six inch piece of pipe with a different size nut welded in the end will give you something to screw the bolt into and serve as a holder for when you want to grind the bolt heads, it's nice for polishing bolts (like stainless). Good work Chad,
If all guys complimented their wife like you do, there would be far fewer broken homes.
Living the dream with Chad and Jolene.
This isn't what I was looking for but really happy I came across this, super interesting and great concept.
Really like the looks of the console in the Merc,great job.
