Best way to strip bumper at home for bedlining?
Hello everyone,
I am going to be repainting my bumper once it warms up with Monstaliner. Problem is that my bumper looks like a WW2 relic after winter... apparently salt is not an issue the Australian's have to contend with.
What would be the best way to strip all the paint and rust off of this thing? I have an angle grinder and a palm sander at home, obviously wouldn't use the cutting disk for it... but one of those rust removing sponge looking ones? Not sure if those are for angle grinders or for another type of grinder.
Here are a couple photos of what it looks like...

yeah... I don't know about sandblasting, had one place quote me about 300 bucks for it when I first inquired about linex'ing the thing when I first bought the bumper.
Then I also am stuck without a bumper for a couple days while get blast away no?

Flap wheel sanding disk in your angle grinder for the most part. Then a wire wheel for the hard to get to parts. Then several coats of a rust converter like POR-15 or a Rusty Metal primer then top coat with bed liner.

Wow I had a place charge me 75 bucks to sandblast my front bumper. I then primed 3 coats and 3 coats of bed liner. It's been holding up well for 2 Canadian winters.

Sand blasting will not take more than a day.
Look for a powder coating shop they will usually have sand blasters and you could get a quote for powder coating while you are at it.
