Onca I can't see how the ceramic could be confused for rust since it looks nothing like it did when it arrived from SDM. It's definately rust and smells like rust too.  How should the ceramic coating deteriorate...so that it resembles rust?

Nope definately not a scam that I can see?

Brian just how cold does it get in Florida...I appreciate that Disney was shut for 3 days in Jan 07 because it was too cold.  In the UK we've had the wettest years (07, 08 & 09) on record since records began 170yrs ago and despite living in the most sheltered part of the UK we've had temperatures below zero 40 times in the last 2 months.
