Looks like that rebar has seen better days!
Actually, it looks like new rebar. From my experience, I've seen that new rebar gets the brightly colored rust initially. When it gets older, though, it gets a very uniform brown color.Quote:

Paint and epoxy are temporary corrosion protection for rebars till it reach its final destination and covered with concrete. Galvanized rebars, though expensive, have a long-term corrosion protection.
