If the chrome is peeling off, it's a bad job.
:-)
Good chrome has a very smooth finish and the underyling metal should have
been straight to start with so you should see no "wavyness" on a good or
excellent chrom job.
If the shop you work with is 100% honest, they'll tell you to paint the
back side of the bumper so it doesn't rust. Really. the chrome plating is
very, very thin and rust can start back there because it's not buffed out
like the side you see and there's lots of nooks and crannies where rust
can start.
The adage "you get what you pay for" applies here. Except you also have to
pay for any possible EPA cleanup.
