I'm assuming that its stainless. it were were aggressive about it, it would take a patina for anything from grey to black. stainless also develops a really wide variety of colors if you heat treat it in an oven with good temperature control. there a bronze-like color that's nice, and also a blue.

There are car enthusiasts and Cubertruck owners. There is little overlap between these two sets.

    • One of the key design points of the Cyvertruck was that brutalist "slab of shiny steel" look.

      Apparently owners often want a bit more manicured looks.
