Wanted to get my 2004 H2 bumpers painted due to rusting, and was told by one body shop it will just rust at the same spot again, has anybody had there's painted? If so can you refer me to where you got it done.
Thanks
Steve

Not much of a body shop.... Not too interested in taking any of your money.
Pull them off and get them "near white" sandblasted with a sil 4 sand and have them coated with an epoxy primer/paint. Or shoot a "Rhino" or other commercial box liner coating on them. (Not the garbage in the spray cans from NAPA or Crappy Tire) Lots of great colors now too. By the time they rust again...you will be a great great granddad. This is not a hugely expensive operation either.
(Don't forget new bolts)
Good Luck

I plan to do my bumpers this spring. Sandblasting the rusted areas untill they are a gray white indicates all corrosion has been removed so they will not rust again. Body shops don't seam to like doing small jobs like this any more. If you remove your bumpers you should be able to find guys who do sandblasting. If your in my area maybe we can blast both sets at once.
