I coated the inside of my bumper not long after getting our new Sunseeker. Use a broom handle & a chunk of wood cut about a 1/4" smaller than the inside dimension. Cut a thin length of cottony material such as an old bath robe (your wife might forgive you if you buy her a pretty new one...), attach to the perimeter with staples. Attach block to the end of the broom handle (extra credit for drilling a hole & cutting threads to match the broom handle).
Get a can of cold galvanizing; liberally spray the inside of one end of the bumper and saturate the cloth on the swab block. Insert custom swab, work back and forth... apply, work, etc. Move to the other end and repeat.
Cold galvanizing doesn't coat like paint, but it will hold the rust at bay for a number of years. I use a lot of it here in the great north-WET!
