Thanks Rick.
My previous FX4 front bumper got bad with stone chips/rust over time and really looked like $hit.
I took it to the dealer and they said it was a very common problem and the only fix was replacing it with a chrome bumper.
So I hit it with an electric sander and painted it with undercoating/rust black paint and it was better…especially from 15ft away.
I think this has everything to do with the paint thickness they spray on them when new.
Certain manufacturers apply thicker paint and it keeps the front ends looking in good shape even after high mileage and some not so much.
