C2 bumpers

[Harry S.]

The chrome on my bumpers is in excellent shape. I've noticed that I am getting a build-up of surface rust on the inside. I'll wire brush and use my dremel to remove the rust.

The question is, what should I spray/paint the inside of the bumpers with to stop future rust and not be noticable during judging.

Thanks

Harry, Eastwood Diamond Clear Satin Finish for bare metal surfaces. Part#10300Z. 800-345-1178. Undetectable.

When I saw you at Marlborough 06 when my 63 was being judged the car got dinged cause the inside of the bumpers were painted from the old days.
It was a massage project to remove them, strip the paint, get the right hardware, etc. But well worth it. JD

Hi Harry!.......Hope all's well.

In '95 I had all chrome done for my '59 at Waltham Plating when I lived in NH. When I got it all home, I used brush-on Rustoleum silver paint on the inside surface of every piece including bumpers.

To this day they look like new with absolutely no rust anywhere! When the car was judged at Kissimmee in '07(my avatar) I got no hits for the silver paint.
