The paint is sacrificial and add essential barrier between the environment and the panel material. The panels are not sacrificial.

Thinking that paint is for... looking cool? People here need to try to get a grip on reality.

Yes, paint is for protection, because ordinary cars aren't made from stainless steel. They would rust without paint. They still scratch more easily, with or without paint, than a car with harder stainless steel.

So you think stainless steel is hard and doesn't rust?
