Default It's been a proud day.
Sooo...after a while of looking at my truck's rear bumper...I felt that some work needed to be done. As I took it off the truck and took apart the step grip...I noticed a lot of covered rust damage. So after a good 5 hours of paint stripping, sanding, and etc...it actually turned out well.

Good job!
Really looks new now.
Small things like that really add up to the overall looks in the end.

Got a new license plate cover before I took pictures of it on the truck. This time I clear-coated the chrome so it doesn't corrode anymore. Trailer ball hitch is soon to come.
