When reading about the rust, I wondered, are those with rust issues just one finish or all 3 finishes?

I have had these for a month or so and have had no rust problem. I do have a Bronze rod too though.

Do not even hesitate on buying these. They are awesome. I purchased these not too long ago. I luv them. I also purchased them last year for a friend, no rust at all. Hope this helps.

First time I've purchased these and they're still new, so I could not answer about rust. They look great right now and move so smoothly. They don't catch anywhere.

I purchased these (in the oil-rubbed bronze finish) even after reading all the complaints about rust because mine are for a guest bathroom that won't get used all that often and I figured rust wouldn't be a problem in my case. I must say that they look great and slide beautifully.

I have never had a problem with rusting. I use my water boiler daily. I've never had to deal with customer service.

I live in indy and I've had it for 3 month or so. o have seen any rust yet. And its rained a lot so I would say no. plus I've got a friend who's got the same one and he's had it 2 years. his also has no rust.

I have had no problem with rusting, just be sure to care for it properly after each use.

I have not had any trouble with rust at all. I have been so happy with this product - I tried a few others but this one is the easiest to clean and manage

I have owned this knife about one year...no rust. I live in the Rocky Mountains so low humidity. I also take proper care of all my knives. Over to you. Threemountaindogs

Ours is rust. It looks really nice. Have received many compliments on the color.

I ordered it in red. There must be a place with a color choice or perhaps one of the many sellers has that option. I love the red.I see someone mentioned rust being a problem. I haven't seen that.

I've had it for about 6 mos. I run them in the DW and have had no problems with rust spots or stains.

I've had mine outside all winter and it shows no rust. Maybe that one was flawed?

I have not had any rust problems whatsoever, so it must have been corrected.

Not normal. Use a flashlight and check for rust. Return to Amazon if you are within the date to do so; otherwise you will have a difficult time to get a refund from Mastrad, if any.

Never had any rust issues with either the regular or this finish. This model has a poor Phillips driver design though, it is only as thick as the flat blade drivers. On the first pair I got it broke during it's first use, putting a screw into a plastic housing.

its been with me for almost a year now. i made my own cover. things are fine with me, no rust. i reccomend that you make a thik cover to prevent it from heat and rain.

I have no clue. I do know that ours has 3 rust spots on it, after less than a year. Very disappointing quality, especially for the outrageous price I paid.

Obviously the others here answered your question about the gap. Just wanted to chime in that this is a terrific product...IT DOES NOT RUST. Had mine almost 3 years now and it's still perfect!

Hey Fred, as I mentioned in my review I only recently used the product for the first time. It generally takes a while for painted-over rust to start bleeding through, so I cannot vouch for the permanency of the application. But the job turned out beautifully, and it was a good bet for me, because installing a new door would have been many times the cost of the Plasti-Kote. There are a few users who have uploaded to YouTube their Plasti-Kote jobs; perhaps you could reference one of them.
