Most steel bumpers are chromium plated for the shiny exterior look and to prevent the rusting (corrosion) of the underlying steel (iron). It is not "added" to the steel, but electroplated onto the surface.

The 1943 silver colored penny is a wartime issue made of steel, and coated with zinc. During World War II, copper was so badly needed for the war effort (to make shell casings) that the U.S. penny was made out of steel that year, which is why most 1943 pennies are silver colored. They are worth about 12 to 15 cents each in ciruclated condition, and as much as 50 cents or more if Uncirculated.
How do you install a Chevy front bumper?
All GM front "bumpers" are nothing more than thick plastic--chromed or painted. The aftermarket bumpers are steel but ugly, ugly, ugly. Only guy I know that makes good looking steel bumpers welds them up in his garage in Lakewood, CO. They are powder coated and can be made for winches. Used to be a Lakewood cop and saw many accidents. Any steel bumper will cost a couple thousand uninstalled. Try to grin and bear it.
