    Hey guys,

    My steel bumper has seen better days. I've been toying around with the idea of pulling it off, sandblasting it, and having it re-powdercoated... but haven't gotten that far.
    Wondering if anyone knows of any products, or ideas on how to restore it.
    Its got a bit of surface rust, and is just looking pretty dull overall. I'd love to find a product that could recondition the finish or something, and gave it that nice black look again - that way I don't have to do the work to refinish it, or buy a new one ;)

    Thanks!

    Shaina

    a couple things
    typically if the bumper was previously powdercoated it will be pretty hard to blast all the old stuff off , locally they send it in to a oven get the old coating burned off for the most part , then blasted , then coated ... its a costly thing to do ..
