DO NOT sand blast chrome off euro bumpers - it is thin metal & they will warp from the heat.
Taking chrome off is very easy - it uses the identical process as chroming, but in reverse. It's cheap, no materials involved, minimal labor, just a bath in three different vats. So, find a chrome shop & ask him to strip the bumpers. Most of these shops have the equipment to straighten the bumpers if they need a little work.
Then you prep them with a rattle can of self etching primer (SEM 39683), lightly finish sand & apply rattle can SEM Trim Black (#39143 - it is a satin finish) - reapply rubber trim & install bumpers.
A simple DYI - $30 strip, $30 paint & materials.
Awesome, exactly what i will be doing, then. Thanks.
