Thanks to everyone for all the input. I tried to show how bad this was in the pictures, but I'm not a professional photographer. "Orange peel" chrome is just NOT acceptable. Anyway, Today I brought the grill back to the chrome shop. The owner said he thought (for whatever reason) the horizontal surfaces would be painted,so those surfaces were not finished. (If I wanted a painted grill, I wouldn't be at the chrome shop). The grill is being redone. I will inform you all of the final outcome.
