Here is a bumper and exhaust tips that John Teresi made for me. I won't even bother to show a pic of my two horrible tries at it. This looks really good. After a good polishing it will be ready for the mold process and I can finish my five year old convertible build. I will even give my Japanese Rotsa Ruck chrome powder a try.

Here is the finished mold with one bumper made. I sprayed the mold with some Tamiya dark ghost gray paint. I will let that dry good and try another pull. I 'll give the chrome powder a try too.

OK.....I spent the entire day tearing up my casting room to locate my personal bottle of chrome powder. I broke a rolling shelf that I attached to my work station, now I gotta fix it! Being a CRS sufferer really sucks. I put it in the Ren Transporter box. I probably thought it was a safe place at the time. The last time it went MIA, I had a hell of a time finding it then also. Painting the inside of the mold did not work so good and so the powder does not look so good either. It has a yellowish cast to it.
