Can’t wait to see what happens when one gets dinged by road gravel, it’s going to be even uglier.

Oh and about that 5-6k coating that will prevent the rust? It’ll just prevent you from seeing the rust, don’t worry, the rust will get there, it always does, that’s one of a dozen reasons why steel has been moved away from for decades.

Done properly it should prevent rust. Especially on already rust-resistant metal. And you could use clear paint.

I think it’s shown to not be very rust resistant.
