Default Rust

Am I the only one that thinks it sucks that my new front bumper is already showing some rust spots?

3 weeks old, garage kept and hasn't been offroad since I put it on

They are tiny surface rust spots that I can get rid of, but it is still a drag.

Most popular bumpers are going to have a reputable warranty. Some of the better manufacturers are sponsors on this forum and are here to help you. If you prefer not to mention the brand, PM WoL or the sponsor and I'm sure they can help you.

Good luck.

Had some on mine, sprayed some bedliner paint on it and it matched the textured powder coat. I think alot of manfacturers have a prob with the textured powder coat/ maybe the prep for it or something. Don't know if that's what you have though.

I like the bumper and I didn't post to call anyone out. I am just a little bummed that I payed that much money for a bumper that developed rust so quick.
