Surface rust on bottom piece of Raptor front grille

Has anyone had this problem? If so, did you remove the bottom piece, sand & paint it?

I didn't see a replacement part from Ford unless it comes with the new grille part # CL3Z-8200-EA

Mine's pretty rusty like that. 2012 that's lived in Colorado all its life - not a rust bucket like Florida. Mine isn't as bad as yours, but not too far off either.

I have not experienced that, but that piece is part of the grille. As you mentioned: remove, sand and paint.

Yes, yes, & yes... Remove-Sand- Paint-Re-install. One of the easiest fix/mod on the Beast! If you are questioning this mod, I would tread carefully in future mods...

Same thing here I’ve got some rust undermine BMW X7 truck too. Well I don't really know what to do with it. It is very sad to see rust in such a place, but I think everything is fixable with paint, or you can always go to the salon where everything you need will be repaired. To be honest, my Ford does not have such a problem yet, but BMW has had this problem for a long time and now I am thinking of giving it to the salon so that they remove the rust. True, I don't know what the cost of the repair will be. By the way, I'm thinking about replacing my Front grill on my Ford. What do you think if I buy this F150 Front Grille Fits - ABS Raptor Style it will look good on my Ford F-150? It says that the front grill is made of good high quality plastic with a special LED. I think this is a really cool replacement.
