Bumper Surface Rust 2017

Any one else seeing surface rust in their chrome bumper?

Noticed it on both sides today. 2017 purchased in December.

 

The bumpers caps are plastic

 

What's your point?

 

How does painted plastic rust?

 

It doesn't.


These parts are painted plastic? Are we talking about the same part?

 

Yep they are plastic.

 

Yes same part but it is most likely chrome plated, not painted

 

Strange. Yeah it looks like surface rust. Rubs out, I was just curious.

 

^^^ that.. well now mine is plate steel... so expect rust where rocks meet bumper.

Plastic rusts .... whats wrong with you. How do you think the Gen3 Tacoma is going to rust out and be more like the Gen2s??

 

Nice potato. If those are the end-caps, which I suppose they must be since it's the only part of the bumper that's chromed, that isn't rust, since they're plastic. I suppose it's a flaw with the chrome-alike paint.

 

Yeah sorry, my phone sucks.

 

Rail dust. Its tiny embedded pieces of metal, containments, etc. that embed into the paint/clearcoat, in this case painted chrome bumper and rust, use iron-x and wash and they'll come off. Even new cars/trucks have this.
