That is exactly what I did and posted about it here.... scroll down about 3/4 of the page and you will see before and after pics and paint I used. I got the paint at the local auto parts store and it was what they recommended for this exact project and said many people use this. Looks great now and it was all just surface rust no deep rust anywhere. The undercarriage of the van body was in perfect shape so I didn't paint that at all.

Also someone mentioned a generator bracket rusting. Funny I have a Thule bike mount on the back of my SMB attached to the Aluminess bumper. It was starting to rust all around and it was only the Thule parts not the aluminess parts rusting. I took the Thule parts off and lightly sanded it all and re-painted it with low gloss black spray can paint. It now looks almost exactly like the aluminess bumpers again and problem solved.
Here are before and after pics of the Thule attachment on my aluminess bumper.
Before rust appearing only on Thule attachment...
After taking of Thule attachment and repainting. Looks brand new now and matches aluminess bumper perfectly.
