Contact a bodyshop in your area. I could have them done for you from bumper guy. I would have to find out how much he would charge. they do a very nice job and will take out all dents and repair.

so far i have had no luck, asking at body shops in the area-(since 99% of the cars that come in dont have chrome parts) there are hot rodders i could ask at the car shows- just thought id post it to see who you guys are using for this service and what the costs are......as far as dents ect.. the bumpers dont have any- the plating just isnt as nice as it could be.. the license plate frame has small ''pits '' in the chrome-and i wanted to do some more chrome under the hood.. (air cleaner-alt..master cylinder distribiter shield) are chrome now ,,and i thought it would look cool with chrome fan blades----carl

We put on new reconditioned bumpers from a company here in Kansas City. Most go the same with chrome bumper also. Very seldom do we put on A factory new chrome bumper or a aftermarket chrome. The Chrome bumpers on trucks are rechromed and are very nice. When it is my personal stuff, my bumper guy takes very good care of me on rechroming or new plating. I can get it done for you. I will have to check on a price Monday. It will be show quailty. also you can check in hemmings, the list a some rechroming shops.
