Wow, great info. My guess would be the armour plates could actually rust if
the primer & paint would have been scratched/fallen off. No rust on the
welds. One more thing we can be nitpicking about - hey you got rusty welds
there :-D
A small amount of rust seems possible, at least to me. What do you think?
