Does anybody know of a good chrome substitute that doesn't require an airbrush? I accidently cleaned off all the chrome on my Impala's rear bumper!!

Yes!
It is called Bare Metal Foil.
Only needs a sharp knife, tweezers and a soft cloth to rub it on.
Seriously ,
every chrome paint can only be sprayed on by airbrush.

Also try SNJ powders. Easier to find than KGS, but is pretty good as well.

In addition, both Alclad and Spaz Stix sell aerosol cans of their chrome for people w/o an airbrush.
