Well, where I lived in the Mpls, St. Paul area it was a very common practice for the dealers upon receipt of the cars off the transport carrier to flash on some black paint over the rearend and the bottom side of the fuel tank. This was done because in our climate they would flash rust almost immediately on the dealers parking lot and looked terrible. The front suspension was almost as bad. Maybe because of your climate they did not practice that there.
