It has that little bit of surface stuff where the rocks and road debres have hit it. Most of these cars have rust holes and are tore up. IF I were to just sand and paint this car it would have nothing. SO compared to others it's a rust free car, technically it does have some small surface rust but no holes or even close to a hole. The drivers fender has a dent and that has some surface rust. I just didn't want to touch it up so people could see the orig paint. So is that better?
