Front Bumper Touch Up Paint

[dudmleh522]

Getting bad rust and paint chipping on driver side front bumper. I was thinking about using a touch up paint to cover it up and finish with a clear coat.
Anyone know the color for the front bumper?

I have this touch up paint from the dealer for my truck not sure if it's the same color or not.

The bumper I believe is a satin finish. Not 100 percent sure

You need to have that redone IMO. That paint wont last long unless you sand it down.

yeah, pretty sure it’s not the gloss magnetic we thought it was in 2017. I am in need myself, as it appears some knucklehead scratched up my passenger side lower.
FWIW, that touch up should be 2 way - color selected and clear on the other end.

anyway, regardless of stealership involvement, I’d put a small sample on a flat surface and let dry, then compare to the bumper first. Just in case.

i think when i tried J7 on the rear bumper it was close but just a smidge off. I think someone posted it should work but the motorcraft pens are just inconsistent. However, i dont think a pen can help with that, would need to do what @CleverGirl_ said cause you may cause the rust to get worse painting over it.

Speaking of this i need to do the same, i kinda unfoiled the rubber to sort of stop it a bit, but eh, too much sand gets in there to really do a difference.

I’d use powder. But getting that to match the fenders is gonna be tricky I feel.

You could cake it on like a Nashville bridesmaid

That thing needs to come apart and be sanded down, rust is tricky, you need to make sure to get all of it or it will just keep coming back

Time for a front bumper upgrade? My front bumper is nearly perfect with the exception of a small rust spot on the driver side, right where the rubber seal is, very similar to what dudmlh522 picture shows in the same area. It’s driving me nuts and will have to address sooner than later. Is there a comprehensive list of paint touchup colors for the GEN’s somewhere? I believe my 2018 should be J7 as previously mentioned.
