Thanks Rick!

Well ask and ye shall receive. The bumpers look nice. They aren't as brilliant and have a bit of tint from the clear, but I like it. Pictures don't do it justice because it's glossy, but it does have the brushed metal look.

I got all the holes taped up so I could spray the back of both bumpers with corroseal and convert the rust.

All the areas that are dark or purple are rust that has been converted.

Once corroseal was dry I applied a heavy coat of corothane prime to seal out the weather. I love this stuff. It's like liquid caramel. Now all I have to do is spray the bed liner on the rear bumper's step and install.

While waiting for the corothane to dry I decided to try something and apply a little peel and seal to my door panels. They felt really flimsy. Well, it worked great. The doors sound completely dead when closed.

Next bumpers get installed and I will get the master cylinder on and brakes bled.
