Rust on Bumper

Post by FTrucknewbie »

Hey all,
I want to put my old bumper on my new truck.
Problem is i am worried about introducing rust to the new one.

The bumper i have has no dents but a few small spots of rust.
I am reluctant to spend on replating as the budget is tight and i want her on the road for as little as possable at this point.

Here are some pics i took.

What do yas think. Is there hope or am i looking for another one?

Cheers,
Ross.
Until now cars have been like what water out of a tap is to most city folk.
Turn the handle and it just flows/Turn the key and she just goes.
I have finally realised there is an engine on the otherside of the firewall !!!
Now...I just need to figure out how to pipe the power to my peddle!!!

there is no real way to fix peeled-chrome, besides re-plating it. which i think costs more than a new bumper (or atleast over here, i dont know what its like over there).
