Default Fab Four Front Bumper

I noticed some bubble rust coming out on my fab four front bumper recently... I decided to give them a call to see what they would say about it... So far they told me that i scratched the bumper so then it bubble rusted... I wheel with my JK but not that hard... If i had lockers i would... I have owned the bumper for only 3 years... I added some photos to see what everyone on here thought... Let me know your feedback or if you have had similar problems... Derrick

I wanted to add that this is happening in the same spot above the lights on both sides... I don't know how i scratched it that perfect for it to happen on both sides same spot???

It seems odd to scratch it above without scratching the light fixtures You would've had to ram it into a symmetrical hard object only above the bumper...I would sand down the rust and touch it up with something Fab Four recommends.

I would just touch it up with some Duplicolor Spray On bedliner. Sand it down to metal if you are worried about it rusting again, then spray it.

That is, if it has a textured finish. My rock rails and LoD bumper both needed a little touch-up. The bedliner is a perfect match.
