I had an old truck that was used for plowing. I ended up cutting the fenders for one reason or another. Probably to clear tires. I never painted the cut end and it went almost 2 years before frosting over with rust and it went for years like that never getting worse. Also had a jap hood that was bought new. Finished correctly as I didn't want it to rust and with 5 years I had a rot hole in the front on the lip. Just something about that factory metal.
