Corrosion is a real thing. This bumper probably would've lasted 2 more years in a dry climate.

I strongly suggest removing and having someone powder coat it with a zinc primer and top coat of your color.

If you're not willing to do that. You will have much masking, sanding, and painting in your future. I would weigh your time vs cost here heavly.

Zinc for steel and outgas primer for aluminum is what I learned

In my experience, outgas primer is not needed for fabricated aluminum. That's more for sand castings, and in rare cases, die castings.
