I utilized 2 different companies for the front/back bumper on my '65. Tri City replated my front and nearly 20 years later...still looks gorgeous. Great people to boot.
My rear bumper? Well, that was near the end of my restoration at the time (money was getting tight) so I let Bumper Boyz plate that. Horrible. Chrome flaking off within a year and you can see copper colored spots throughout. That and they welded in a patch on the driver side that can be seen clear-as-day.
You get what you pay for.
On another note: My tail bezels on my '67 Lemans have light pitting and everyone wants an arm & leg to replate (not many outfits replate pot metal). I contacted Sandy Bumper Mart out of Syracuse, NY and they quoted me $180/ side. I thought their pricing was MORE than fair. Anyone use these guys?
