Have a 2018 Ram Sport with painted bumpers. The rear bumper is rust bubbling around two of the rear backup Camera points. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue? truck is garage kept with 61000 miles. No other rust on body but under is quite rusty.

1) Ignore it.
2) Have it repainted.
3) Spray on bedliner (easy to DIY but would probly need to do the front to match).
4) Aftermarket bumper.

Just depends how much it bothers you and how much $ and/or time you are willing to spend to fix it.

This is mine from last Saturday, eventually plan to get aftermarket bumpers, but having difficulty finding a front bumper I like.

I’m following rzr6-4 advice, trying to ignore for now and strongly considering the line-x paint because any of the aftermarket bumpers I like are too exspensive.

I vote bed liner. What ever powder coating they did on my '21 Warlock was absolute crap and was rubbing off. Do the front and rear. Either take the bumpers off and spray them yourself or take it in to a Bedliner shop and they will do it. I use the hurculiner for any touch up easy enough. I've only needed to once on the front bumper on one small spot due to the brush I often drive through. And use it to touch up my bed bed liner often.
