Standard Front Bumper Finish?
What would be the manufacturer’s finish on a standard front bumper (MY2014) paint or powder coating?

Ok Chaps thanks for that, now what would be the best products to refurb before it gets too bad? Assume it's taken back down to bare metal and treated with Kurust.

Worth trying to get Dinitrol (or equivalent) properly inside the Bumper
regardless of what type and finish is opted for.

My Dinitrol is 6 years old now and I'm still really pleased with it... with all but no signs
of breaking down, or coming away at 'the edges'.... despite the effort to DIY this with
certainly a good few days to prep' it remains (possibly physiologically too) one of the
best long term steps for the Defender... Landrover really neglected this aspect IMO

I replaced my front bumper with a totally standard looking but 5mm thick one. Bothered if I can remember from where though, unfortunately.

And as I drive a British vehicle, like the rest of the underside, it's protected with a fine British product: Dynax:

Seems ok to me. Their galv. bumper is even cheaper than I remember at under £50, too!

They are restricting the number of online orders per day - just need to keep an eye on the site. Rgds.
