bumbers

[84chevysilverado]

so im restoring my 84 swb. dont have the money to buy new bumbers plus they are in really good shape no dents and they arent bent. I do have some little rust on them just here and there around the bolts that hold on the bumper and license plate. what I was thinking was sanding the rust with say 1000 grit sand paper just to remove the surface rust. or maybe buffing it out. would this get rid of the rust and bring out the chrome again? has anyone done this or does anyone have any better ideas.

It depends on how bad the rust it.  If it has eaten through the chrome you won't be able to clean it up.

it not eaten through the chrome. let me reword the question. my bumbers are dull looking no shine to them. and id like to bring the shine back. would sanding them work with a really fine sandpaper? or shopuld I polish them?

#0003 steel wool and WD40, or Coke.

+1 on the steel wool, it will do wonders.

Did someone put your "B" key where the "P" goes?

[Captkaos]

I would say based on the desciption steel wool also.
