Hi,
Looking to spruce up my metal bumpers, as they're starting to rust and look generally a bit tatty. Was going to remove them, quick once over with wire brush on the drill & sand, then what next...
Was going to Hammerite them, but seeing mixed reviews on that - worked on my landrover a few years back, but apparently the current stuff isn't as good? Black Rustoleum has also been mentioned a few times, but I've got no experience of that, or which one to go for.
So was wondering what people have used/would recommend? Any hints & tips welcome
Cheers,
Ben.

I rang Halfords to enquire about that truck bed paint but it seems they don't sell it anymore. I'd like to protect a new bumper before fitting it as the paint on it is so thin its already worn off in places
