A viral Facebook Reel shows Facebook user 22retrd spraying black spray paint directly onto a heavily corroded side panel of a Toyota truck to mask visible rust.
The clip has more than 22,000 likes and hundreds of comments, with viewers joking that the quick fix looks good from a distance and suggesting it could boost resale listings.
Several commenters said they have used similar cosmetic patches on older trucks and work vehicles, while others cautioned the repair is temporary and that simple prep work would extend paint adhesion.
On the Toyota, the spray application does not address bubbling and flaking metal beneath the paint, and some observers noted painted-over corrosion can trap moisture and allow rust to spread under the new finish.
