I'm gonna rechrome my bumpers and want to pull a small dent out of each of them before I do. Any recommendations on how to do this?

Hammer and drift... special tools required. Drifts come in different shapes and sizes- essentially they are like a hand held anvil that you hold on the concave side of the dent. Then on the opposite side of the body you use a special set of autobody hammers (with different shaped heads) and hit just barely to the edge of the drift to bring the metal to level. It's fun! Although- I haven't done chrome bumper repair (yet...), but body work is body work. Sharp did an awsome job of reworking a crushed front turn signal. Sheetmetal is very workable and mistakes can be undone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
