Answer 1

There is no cheap way to rechrome a bumper. You can send it in to be rechromed, or to remove light surface rust, use a brillo or steel wool pad with soapy water. Follow this with a chrome polish, and see if it helps.

Answer 2

I not at all observed a motor vehicle with a chrome fender. i'm going to guess it relatively is a chrome BUMPER. whilst they start to rust and peel, there isn't any thank you to restoration it settle for have the chrome bumped off and take care of the steel (acid etch) and re-chrome; or only replace it.

Answer 3

If you remove the bumper and wire wheel the rusted area, you can paint over it with a product called liquid chrome. It gives you th same shine as the origanal chrome.

Answer 4

if you choose to paint it than all you need to do is wet sand... use a fine sand paper with running water and go slow, all you want to do is smooth the peeling and rough it enough to hold paint. dont forget to primer first.
if you dont want to paint do the same process but use super fine sandpaper with a spray can of wd-40 keep it lubed as you sand it do this until peel marks or scratch deminash's a little then switch to a buffer and buff until shiney again. this may take some time but is will work.

Answer 5

I used a potato to take rust off my cast iron skillet. You could try it on chrome. Just take a potato and cut it in half. Rub the bumper with the potato. It might work on chrome.

Answer 6

Just Remove the Bumper.
