vibration damper thoughts

I don't know.......... how would they strip that paint off so clean? There's not even a spec of red and it wasn't media blasted. The writing is absolutely perfect, not eaten away by rust. Maybe you guys are right but I'm not so sure. It looks like surface rust from being stored in a plastic bag (condensation) maybe somewhere that wasn't temperature controlled.

Here's an idea, just for shits and giggles try this test that tanker93 explains here
