Tradesman rear bumper

[homebrew]

I have a 16 2500 tradesman with the black bumpers. The "paint" on my rear bumper has worn down to bare metal. Apparently these bumpers are just coated with E coating. I tried submitting a claim for it, the response I got was declined because it was not an issue with workmanship or factory defect. My truck is barely a year old and my paint is literally washing off. Is there anything I can do to get FCA to take care of this?

i dont think its just an e-coating, my 2013 tradesman has the same stuff and i just wound up painting mine, but its more than an e-coating because prepping and painting them from my truck was a bit of a pain

Line-X it. It will last forever and look better anyway. Easy to do on a painted bumper. The chrome one's take some prep work.

Get a Ranch Hand. The Mercedes that t-boned you would be in much worse shape if it had rear ended you with one of these.

i wont argue with the strength of the ranch hand bumpers, but ill say i was impressed with how well my truck held up when i got rear ended at 40mph
