This is a photo of my finished powder coated front bumper. Since Chroming is not easily available, I elected to powder coat, following the example of JohnN and FredV.
Color was chosen to marry with future (far future) paint scheme.
Powder coating does not repair flaws in the bumper, just makes them all the same color. However, it is much better than the previous rust and flaking chrome. Lots of colors are available in powder coating, even some that replicate a chrome or silver finish.

That image is about the size of a postage stamp. Got a bigger one?
