Cracks through the finish, rusting underneath?

I never thought it was rust. Sure, it's 'brown' ... and the square is
steel so it 'can' rust.

But I've never seen rust like that!

Rust usually covers a wide area, and it's rough. This is smooth as silk.

Still ... maybe it 'is' rust as it must be something!

It may be rust in the pinholes of a clear-coat?
