Most of the cost of chroming involves labour involved in preparing the parts to be dipped (just like painting). The more you can prepare your bumpers for stripping and re-layering (most chrome is just a thin layer over copper and nickel) the lower your cost. At least you're only left paying for what you could never do yourself. Disassemble completely, remove all rust and degrease.

Some dork used the backside of one of my bumpers as a hammering surface, so I'm going to ask the chromer to let me grind the bumps down after stripping.
