It is going to depend on where you have the work done. My uncle in North Carolina brought his recently sold 71 Olds Cutlass over here to Tennessee to have it painted and bumpers rechromed, because it is cheaper over here. At a local rechroming place, for the front and rear bumpers was $900. He also has a 58 Lincoln convertible that he had painted over here and me and my grandpa took the bumpers to the same place to have them rechromed. They are going to charge $1,495 to rechrome them and it will be 4 weeks before they are ready, because they are a high volume shop. The place is about 25 miles from where I live, and they seem to be the cheapest place we have found. I don't think they have a chain of stores across the country, so I don't guess this will help you. I personally think that the Lincoln bumpers were good shape, but my uncle wanted it to look 100%, because he is going to resell. $1,495 sounds steep, but this car has HUGE bumpers, this one even has fins on the bumpers and the front is a main bumper and a smaller one on the upper side of it and whats more, the bumpers come apart. Like someone said before, this is just a wild guess, but I am going to say anywhere in the neighborhood of $800 to $1,300. If you buy others, they will more than likely be the same way. Good luck to you on your restoration.
