Eastwood has powder for coating that can be polished to like chrome. Chrome is going to be more brilliant of course but the coating is close. For less than a hundred bucks (less than a chrome job or having someone powder coat) you can get a gun and some powder. The problem is, you need infrared lights to bake the powder because your bumper isn't going to fit into an electric oven. So you are stuck with taking it somewhere no matter what. Call and see what a strip and chrome will cost and what a strip and powder coat will cost and compare. After both procedures, they will have to polish the finish so you won't save money thinking that not having to polish will save. I took the bumper off a truck and had it chromed once. I opted for the better job that they offered and it came out better than new and the finish stayed longer, it took a week or so however. Good luck
