I am curious because I have the chrome bumper and besides ordering a new one and painting it is there any other way to paint the chrome such as powered coating or painting to match it?

You can sand down the chrome and then paint it, but it won't hold up as good if you got one that wasn't chrome.

So it's nothing is really going to do me any good as if it was a non-chrome bumper.

All in all, the chrome is just a covering that's thicker than paint. They should all be the same underneath, but the chrome requires much more sanding. Powder coating companies should be used to doing all of that for you, I'd recommend checking with them. But if you were looking at just paint, a premiered/gray bumper would be your bumper of choice.

Find a shade of Monsta Liner close to your truck, I bought a new bumper and had it powder coated. Small fortune though.
