I see people with their bikes that has that rusty look is it a paint job they do on their frame or do they let their bike rust up for the look?

Raw it, let it rust a bit, then clearcoat it.

At least I think.

Why does your Frame have a female Deer, and why would it weaken when the Frame is deeply rusted?

Not that it matters anyway, as to get a Rust Finish, you only need a thin layer of rust which won't affect the structural integrity of your Frame or the Deer inside it, as long as you clearcoat over it.
