A RAT-look car may look like it has been left for years, but in reality, the opposite is true, and its appearance often requires a great deal of effort and expense to achieve. VW is a pioneer in creating RAT-look cars that can be considered works of art in themselves. Builders are extremely particular, applying multiple layers of paint to the body and then polishing to different depths, bringing out a patchwork quilt of feathery colors. Then, they carefully draw graphic designs on top of this patchwork and apply weathering to match the overall appearance. The stance is more important than anything else for a RAT-look VW. The car is often low, giving the RAT-look car a unique atmosphere. However, the engine, suspension, brakes, and transmission are usually far superior to the originals, and many RAT-look cars have high output and carefully developed chassis. The intentionally weathered appearance is now very popular, and enthusiasts can spend more time and money than a traditional restoration to create that very look.
