How should I paint bumper?

[cghstrojan08]

Ok, I have a guy I know that will sand blast my bumper for free. Would it work out ok if I used Rustoleum Primer then Rustoleum silver paint on it? I am talking about good ol rattle can. I wire brushed the bumper in the past and put three coats of rattle can paint on it in the past. It rusted out again within a year. I am gonna have my tool box sand blasted to. It rusted out to just from wire brusing.

I recommend rust bullet. A member painted his bumper with it. Looks good. Do a search, you should be able to find it.

iiif your rattle canning it i would use several thick and heavy coats of paint. and then maybe a sealer or clearcoat with a rattle can. maybe that will last longer.

I did mine with rustoleum!!! The body man said that was the hardest paint to get off!!! he said what the Hell did you use!! RUSTOLEUM he said I was lieing!!! Paint striper woad not take it off! sandblasting woad not take it off even the da woad not take it off! He woad not tell me how he got it off! I had over 15 coats of paint I put on!! Now he put a base clear on it! and I can't see any diff with my cheep job and the ppg paint thats on there!


Oh yea mine was going on its 3d year! and still looking good!

if youre getting it sandblasted, I go for the powdercoating also.

I vote for either the rust bullet or powder coating... I've seen both, and they both look great!
