-----------------
Architectural metals companies use a fair amount of iron oxide to ad
patina to various architectural and decorative metals.
The iron oxide does not attack the steel base materials due to special
coatings similar to POR products.
The sprayed on iron oxide coatings rust almost immediately leaving the
desired patina.
As far as body shops go ............. its rush through and get paid,
thats all they care about. If they leave uncoated seams they just don't
care.
I never repair small dents in my Westy, anywhere they add heat it burns
off the paint and they won't spend ten minutes (even if I paid them to)
to open a panel and coat the interior of a work area.
In the paint and body its Habla Espanol and rush, rush, rush.
