Buying new is usually a lot cheaper. There's a lot of labor involved in doing a good chrome job. Metal has to be cleaned, repaired and polished smooth before plating. If you have chrome done at a low price, you probably won't be pleased with the results.

If you're looking at bumpers, I recommend the stainless steel. Not quite as shiny as new chrome, but if you bump chrome it will crack, allowing moisture inside. If you bump stainless, it can be polished if it shows.
