"Chrome" grill bubbling

"Chrome" grill bubbling
While washing the mag chloride off my '06 Durango today, I noticed the "chrome" was bubbling on the grill. Any recommendations on either replacing the grill or otherwise fixing this?
I think I can get it replaced under warranty (have 2 months before 5 years is up), but have to find out about that. I will be taking my D into service in a couple of weeks to have the fuel system/tank tested (fueling overspill issue), and will find out then if warranty will cover it.
But, if warranty doesn't cover it, I just want to find out what options I have. If it's not expensive, and I can get a better grill, I'd opt to pay for a decent one and replace it myself.
Thanks.

Putco has aftermarket grilles that are polished aluminum:

I'd be fine with debris chips, but the "chrome" (or whatever it is) is actually bubbling. Looks terrible, and dealer said it would cost $465 to replace (not covered by warranty, which I actually knew). Needless to say, I'll be replacing it myself.
Any recommendations on a brand or place to buy a new one? Putco doesn't make one for Durango's. Or, would it be just easier to peel the chrome off and paint it?
