Does marine grade stainless rust in the rain?

Eventually, yes. Especially around salt. Not in 2 days though. Maybe take the trash click bait article with some of that salt.

I'd love to see someone sacrifice a body panel and do a 3.5% salt solution test like knifenerd does.

Someone just needs to XRF a panel

Even if you don’t have one an XRF gun, you can just visit a local junkyard and ask the owner to use theirs.
