You may leave the forum now.

Just joking, it looks good on some cars but I can't see it looking good on a 340 unless done to a high standard ie real rust not the spray on rust paint which looks terrible. It would need to be ridiculously low, have yellow fly spray on the headlights, a roof rack carrying spare wheels and junk like an old suitcase which is falling apart.

Damn it I'm liking the sound of it now :lol:

Leave little patches off paint at varying levels of primer and top coat as that will look better than complete rust.
