Is this made of Aluminum? will it rust and how well will the paint hold up?

Crank arm are aluminum and sprockets are steel. Paint should hold up unless you ride in rocky terrain and bang them like I do. But even then the crank arms shouldn't rust.

I believe the chainrings are steel and the crank arms are aluminum, hope this helps.

It's a chromed metal, not aluminum so I'd say good luck. But it is well-chromed(if I can make up a word). I think it would suit you fine, unless it gets ocean spray directly on it. But that's just me.

The color will hold very well. I did the inside of my aluminum jon boat and it still has great color with some pretty heavy use. There is not much gloss to it but I mixed with a flat paint. The bedliner was very easy to install with the supplied air gun. Overall a great product.

it's aluminum so will not rust (as in red iron type rust). It is a bit flimsy but gets the job done with the application I needed it for..

It is metal; not plastic. We have it above our bath tub and it has stayed nice for a long time; but we do not have a full shower in that tub so it doesn't get wet. I don't know if it would rust if it were exposed to water regularly.

it it metal, not sure if aluminum or iron. not supposed to rust. cross arm appears to be the same but I would have to walk down to the lake to check if you need to know for sure

We have only used it twice, so no paint chipping. It is aluminum. A friend has the same one and loves it.

We bought this for our disabled son, 6 foot 6, 240 pounds. We've had it for a few months now and have seen no rust. It's made of aluminum and plastic, so not much to rust except possibly some screws but I think they are stainless steel and brass. It sits in the shower all the time. Hope this helps.

It's very heavy duty, and it seems to be painted well, but it is steel. If the paint gets chipped, it will start to rust. How long it lasts will be a direct result of how well you take care of it. If you keep the scratches covered (repaint them) so it can't rust, then it should last a very long time.

I have no idea what kind of metal it is, but I believe it is stainless steel. It shouldn't rust.

I believe that it's made out of brass with a chrome finish. It shouldn't rust.

Not sure about rust. I have this in my basement guest bathroom so it doesn't get regular use. So far it's held up nicely though.

It is too heavy to be aluminum, but it looks more like powder coated steel than stainless. I've had mine a couple of months and it still looks good and I like it a lot, but I see potential for it to rust at the welds.

I cannot confirm or deny that it might rust. I have mine hung on a wall in my lanai, so it is covered and away from the sun and elements. I have only had it about one month so it is hard to tell what wear and tear it might encounter.

Thomas, Although I haven't owned it long enough to say how the paint will hold up, it was nicely primed and painted. There were some spots that were scratched and starting to rust. Shipping and handling, I suppose. I just got some gloss black Rustoleum paint and touched it up. Doesn't match perfect, but it's just a utility trailer! It's quite a job to assemble this thing, but I kind of enjoy that sort of project. The folding feature is cool, but not something you will want to do often because a couple of the bolts are tough to get to after you put a deck on. All in all, I think it's a cleverly designed, and fairly well built light duty trailer. Hope this helps

Well I have it for a couple of mths and it hasn't rust so I believe it is a true aluminum pan

Don't know what it's made of. I've had it for more than 3 years, no rust at all. It faded a bit, but I'm not surprised -- our water is very hard.
