Personally, I wouldnt' trust them to remove ANY of the chrome trim...it is
tough enough for us hobbyists to figure out how it comes off-
I would also be very surprised if they removed bumpers, after all thse years
of rusty Ohio winters.
The clock is always ticking at a business...
I have been told the paint they use is bought by the drum, and of sourse it
would be enamel, but the cars I see coming out of Maaco and Earl Sheib look
good from 60 feet away as I drive past at 35 mph
