I talked to Paul's Chrome about getting some plated last year and it's expensive. They estimated around 80.00 for each piece which is 320.00 but that's show quality plating. Could be a little more or less. They couldn't give a definite price without seeing them.
The ends are made of pot metal and hard to work with.
I ended up getting bed rails from a seller on ebay for 195.00.
Here is a set you may want to keep an eye on. They look like they have decent looking ends.

They have been chrome plating for over 45 years and they do a top notch job. I now have two bumper guards and one is bent and doing a 7 layer process unique to the plating industry. They go beyond and OEM plated part with a specially developed process giving your parts a high quality long lasting finish. They also do Nickel Plating, Satin Nickel Plating, Copper Plating, Polish Only to a bright finish, Strip and Sand Blast or strip only. The cost for my two bumper guards (also fixing the bent one) is only $185.00 and you can ship your parts to them and they will give you a price and if you are OK with price they will do the work. Check them out. They really do show quality job. No, I am not a family member etc. just a happy customer. Chrome plating is expensive. Give them a call.
