When I was in college I worked at a plating shop. I thought the best combin=
ation was a strong steel base with chromium plating. Since the bumper is su=
pposed to absorb damage I think that is better than using Stainless steel w=
hich is weaker, I've got a 3 body in my back lot which has been sitting for=
 20 years and the bumpers are perfect. They used stainless in passengeer tr=
ain construction since the 1930's, the biggest problem was that it was hard=
 to spot weld.Joe Mato62 Wood RoadRedding, CT 06896917 232 1555=20

Sorry Alex,

You may want to do some fact checking.=C2=A0 There is no grade for "solid s=
tainless steel".

I do not believe a stainless-steel plating exists for plating over mild ste=
el technology exists a of
yet.=C2=A0 Plating is electrolysis, and the mild steel will only attract sp=
ecific molecules similar to
mild steel.=C2=A0 You can copper plate mild steel because there are similar=
 molecules, when then allows
either chromium to be plated or for triple plate, nickel plate and then chr=
omium.

Stainless steel comes in different grades, some grades of stainless steel a=
re indeed magnetic
depending on the amount of ferric used in the recipe.=C2=A0=20

Stainless comes in dozens of different types and chemical compositions sele=
cted for its application
and environment use.=C2=A0 Just because it is stainless steel does not mean=
 it is a grade or composition
that isn't magnetic or completely corrosion resistant.

Unless the specific grade of stainless is specified for the product manufac=

stainless steel might be used, and manufacturers might advertise stainless =
steel and not specify
what type.=C2=A0 Without specifying what type, you have no idea what corros=

Around 2008 or so I purchased stainless steel front & rear bumpers off or e=

 front towards prevailing winds. And my front bumper rusted. I hit it with =
steel wool today and that "stainless steel" came off in flakes with a steel=
 bumper underneath. I had no idea that you could plate steel with a thin la=

I guess the next SS bumper will need to be checked with a magnet. Anyone ha=

off topic, but sort of same topic. ? The new switch plates, faucets ,=20

ChatGPT confirms:

Yes, it is possible to plate steel with stainless steel. This process is kn=
own as electroplating or galvanization and involves depositing a thin layer=
 of stainless steel onto the surface of the steel through an electrolytic p=
rocess.

In this process, the steel is first cleaned and then placed in an electroly=
tic bath with a solution containing the ions of the stainless steel. An ele=
ctric current is then passed through the solution, causing the ions to be d=
eposited onto the surface of the steel.

The resulting plated steel will have the corrosion-resistant properties of =
stainless steel, which can be beneficial for applications where the steel w=
ill be exposed to harsh environments or corrosive substances.

Years ago (perhaps still) there was some video on YouTube showing one of
the Vietnamese workshops making stainless steel bumpers.=C2=A0 It was a bun=
ch of
Geppettos banging them out by hand in a courtyard more than a factory with
machine tooling.

My guess for why the back side is heavily painted is to hide the
handworking marks that are polished out of the front side.

TeriAnn, your 2008 bumpers sound like chrome plated carbon steel, not
polished stainless.=C2=A0 The idea of some amalgam of stainless and carbon
steels to save money doesn't square with the cottage/craft industry that
makes these, AFAIK.
