Its best to powdercoat the chrome bumpers rather than paint them.

Like Darren said.....

find somebody in your area that does good powder coating. They will have to bead blast them first, to give something for the powder to adhere well to. I've heard there is a risk of the chrome starting to lift when bead blasted, and then it has to be chemically removed first... then back to powder coating.... But if the chrome is not already trying to peel anywhere, you will probably be okay.

I was quoted $400 for a front and rear bumper.
