Noticed a little rust on my H/E brackets and pulled the bumper and hauled off the brackets tonight. What did ford paint these with? paint that rusts? My car has 25,000kms is a garage queen and these are starting to rust and rust bad! The rest of the car still has the paper tags and factory marks underneath.
Holding up the H/E after the brackets were off. They are empty so maybe thats why the job went a little slow LOL
Id hate so see what they look like on cars driven in the winter or even rain for that matter.
Even where the paint is fine, you sand it off and rust underneath. Im going to strip them down to bare metal.
Wondering if i should paint or powder coat.
