So tell me about rechroming a bumper.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Didn’t know where to post this so thought I’d try here,

On my 1987 short step 4X4 I have a lot of surface rust spots, the bumpers are rock solid but I’d like to make them nice again. I do not want to replace them as they are the originals.

I’ve never had anything chromed or rechromed so I thought I’d ask here for opinions and or guidance. Do I prep them by somehow taking off the rust? If rechromed will they last and look as new?
Thanks for any input...
