On my rear step bumper, I just gave it a quick run over with sand paper and cleaner, then shot it with a can of "chrome in a can. 8) It looks alright from 6 feet. It won't win any trophies though. It might look odd on a front bumper too.

I was planning on going body color but I wasn't sure how hard it would be to sand the chrome. I was figuring a grinder to scuff it then just sand it smooth

Oh your talking the front. I was talking my rear bumper that was already painted.
I don't know what to do about a chrome one.

Have it media blasted. Something finer than sand. Then light sand, heavy primer, light sand and paint.
