No. It's just proper rust.

it has really obvious areas of white paint. Ironically, around the areas that would typically actually rust on a golf that age
how is it done if it's not painted on?

Bearing in mind I read about it over 10 years ago, the paint was stripped, and they soaked the bare metal with saltwater.

OK. If you say so.
it really does look like there's white paint underneath though. Unless they did a half-arsed job of stripping the paint, of course

Edit - of course I've studied it closely. It takes a while for me to reach climax, you know.

Well, your mum certainly knows.

Very, very occasionally, rat look can look quite good.
This is not one of those times.

I know. It's horrible. I just remember reading about it in a VW magazine.

I saw a camouflage coloured one this morning. Rank, I say.
