my beater is raw steel with absolutly nothing on it to protect it from the elements. i was planning on painting it, but ive just not got around to it for several months. it has developed some surface rust but i am surprised as to how little rust has developed. it has only appeared where the wheels fling water from the road.
i would polish it and keep it raw but the brazes arnt exactly buetiful so im probably going to paint it.
