I think the chrome wheels really loose the look. With some nice chrome dishes and black steelies I think it might look ok. Clearly the interior would have to be finished. I would really only want to do this on a rat rod or a brand new M5/Porsche. ---

Personally i think it looks like shit. Most people but the rusted hood on the cleanest cars and imo it just ruins it. ---

for me, rust paint is just like flat black. looks great on expensive or really really nice cars, but stupid when you do it on a beater. ---

This is what happens to people in California who have never seen rust on anything. They go for a different look. Here in buffalo, most people drive pieces of shit rusty cars, so this trend will never take off here. ---

Fugly! And even worse when it’s a clean car and then rusted hood look. Like what most others have said, the effort is there but the idea just sucks. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/is-das-rust-paint-cool/73676.md?page=2)
