You'll get a 4 oz. can of POR-15 (enough to cover 12 square feet),
Allow me to give you some advice. I too have a Badland bumper but really this is advice for any steel bumper that comes raw. Apply POR-15 as a base and then POR-15 top coat per their exact instructions. A normal rattle can job is not going to hold up to the elements. I am having to strip the rattle can job I did because it didn't hold up and has caused numerous rust spots. You can find both products here:
This kit will give you everything you need to apply the base of POR-15

This is the top coat. It also comes in a gloss variety if you prefer.

This combination can not be beat for its tough as nails finish and rust prevention all in one. Enjoy your bumper!
Yeah make sure it doesn't leak. Pour some water on them. If it leaks. Walk away.
If it doesn't leak of sand those down a bit and use this por 15 starter kit just make sure you paint over it afterwards because that stuff doesn't hold up to UV rays.
Also, make sure to check the age of the tires on the van. If you look at them closely there should be a four digit code that tells you the month and year of manufacture. I just had a spare with 0 miles on it blow up and do some serious collateral damage to my old b250 when it blew up going 60mph. Turns out it was manufactured in 2002. You're supposed to replace them every 10 years. Found this out the hard way and dropped $775 bucks for new shoes. I wasn't happy about it. Even if they look perfect (this one did) change them. Not worth it.
