Bumper disassembly

Today I disassembled my QV rear bumper and I sanded it. The inner structural elements were also sanded and treated with Brunox. I realised I already emptied 9 little cans of that anti-rust stuff. Now  I think I need a bigger bottle (400 ml instead of 150 ml). The linked adress is the cheapest in the country, when you'r ordering one at a time. Others are cheaper when you're ordering 12 bottles at a time. This seller is the cheapest in bigger volume orders. Maybe we have to put us together for a really great order. Someone interested?

Now I saw the plastic bumper is not wholy painted, there are some spots where there is no paint on the plastic bumper. So some plastic primer is to be sold to treat the surface right. Also there are some dents and scratches int the surface, #$#$%#$^%$#, so I need to put some paste on it to make it really smooth.

Maybe I'll do some internet courses to learn how to do it.
