Really? I think the vote is fine the way it is :P
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Thinking of doing a panel on the caldy? :lol:

Can look good on the right car, but it should be natural, which isn't hard for old cars :lol: New cars no.

As above, natural can be cool.
Fake or artifical is dumb and smacks of mega tryhardness.

To do that to a panel, do you just take it back to bare metal and leave it?
Just curious.

Rusted panel is plain stupid no matter where it is used.
It stands out as pure laziness.

Did he apply some sort of coating overtop after or not too worried about it rusting away?

Pretty sure i've read somewhere people put a clear coat or similar overtop of their rusted panels to try and preserve them
