How about Plan D? There's supposed to be a powder coating process that looks very much like chrome. I stopped by a guy in Idaho back in May to buy some parts from him, and he had a grille hanging over the entry to his shop that had that process on it, and it was pretty much indistinguishable from chrome. Don't know much else about it though.
on edit: Looks like it could even be a DIY process (assuming you have a big enough oven for a bumper). Eastwood sells kits as well as
