I appreciate that it's no help whatsoever in the present circumstances, but I got fed up of rusty bumpers and bought a galvanised one for less that £60 from Paddocks. Paint once and forget. Darren

Ahh now i didn't think of that one
Im on my 3rd bumper, the last one is from flatdog and in fairness lasted longer than the land rover efforts, just needs a good tidy up.  2016 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 TDV8

I used truck bed liner aerosol and it has worked superbly. Very tough to stop damage by stone chips etc. Give a Matt black fine textured finish which really suits the bumper.

excuse my complete ignorance of all things painting related
 , quite keen on the upol raptor liner for my bumper and side steps, which are quite rusty - did you use something like the raptor anti-corrosive epoxy primer first? |

I didn’t use Raptor just some generic bed liner aerosol from eBay, but it has worked very well. I think the 2k raptor is probably even better.
I etch primer first, on to a galvanised bumper. |

I had mine shot blasted and power coated with a zinc primer as well, 6 years on still no rust. Did cost me £150 though. 2008 Defender 110 XS CSW

I spoke to Craig at Buzzweld this week and the following day an order landed on the door step
so i went straight to it and stripped the bumper back and added 3 coats of the rust encapsulater and today a few coats of the FX1 smooth liner as a top coat i will let you know how i get on
