Back of bumper paint?
My repop chrome rear bumper has held up well for 7 years, but back of bumper now has rust and some scaling, worth it to sand and paint with a DTM black paint?

Re: Back of bumper paint?
I cleaned mine up and painted it silver. Looks great and you can't even tell if it's metal or paint from the back.

Re: Back of bumper paint?
I use Silver, and paint the inside before installing on truck.
that way it looks factory original finish, except no rust. |
