Is Paint Peeling and Rusting on a Car Serious?

[DeRhett]

Paint peeling and rusting on a car can have serious consequences. Here is relevant information about car paint peeling and rusting: 1. Rust Risk: Even after repainting, there may still be a risk of rust due to workmanship and environmental factors. However, some "older cars" can remain in good condition if the region and the owner's maintenance are adequate. If a car is frequently exposed to extreme conditions like high temperature and humidity, rust and other issues may be unavoidable, but this still depends on how well the car is cared for. Vehicles are designed to last a long time, generally around ten years without major issues. Even some new cars may have paint damage due to transportation issues when they arrive at 4S stores, but these stores will repaint and repair them, which does not affect the vehicle's quality. 2. Performance Damage: A 1% rust on the car body reduces its strength by 5%-10%, meaning the car's defensive performance in traffic accidents will be compromised.
