It will still "rust".
I know the aluminum cab on my Freightliners did. It is not the same rust as people are used to seeing on steel, but a white powdery corrosion like on a battery.
The paint still peels, and they still look ugly. Once the paint starts to peel it is hard to fix. I couldn't get paint to stick on those spots without extensive surface prep.
Thank the salt on the winter roads........
