Default Bumper question

Where would I find a chrome replacement for my front bumper? Or should I get it re-chromed? There are several blister/rust spots I would like to eliminate.

I can fix it for you. But I will need the title, signed and a full tank of fuel.

I had 4 different bumpers. I put the best one of the 4 on my car. They were all somewhat pitted so it might be difficult to find a perfect used one. I would check into having it refinished.

NICE looking car btw!!

Best bet is to have them rechromed. Finding 33 year old OEM bumpers in BETTER shape will be tough. BTW nice 6.

The fussy guys here are getting new metal bumpers and having them chromed themselves.
This is a realistic option as a new normal bumper is not that expensive and if the chrome is well done it can end up better than a NOS chrome part.
