The front of the park could look like DisneySea and the lagoon would still look the same.

Agreed. When in WS the construction is way out of mind, other than the walls blocking off Ratatouille, and Mechagodzilla rising from the lagoon to kill us all.

Hmmmmm. This could be evolving into a new set for the next Star Wars movie. An interplanetary death ray hidden in the midst of WDW just waiting for a raiding party from the rebellious federation to come and destroy it before it can be activated. Got to admit that would make for a spectacular show (pyro, lights, lazers etc.) specially for SW fans. In reality it won't be so imaginative but there is always hope.
That was SWAGS on a good night.

ohhhh, now I get it.... They're trying to blend them in with the water FROM ABOVE. I would've had tried to blend with stuff on the shore. But, hey, that's just me.
Rusting already, and it's not even more than a couple of months old.

Ok, this is looking more and more like a tire fire with every passing day.
Weather has already taken a toll on the barges - Who would have guessed?!?! And it’s not even been during the heat of a Florida summer, so imagine the affect that will have on them.
If only some people could have warned them about such things...

Obsolescence by design?

Is it rust or just lake residue? The mooring chain definitely looks rusted, tho...

How corrosive is the water in the lagoon?

If they paint the entire bottom half black, that might help with rust, etc from looking so noticeable.
My suggestion remains:

Imagine how the inside/arm, gears, lighting is looking or will be looking with the water beating down on it.

Looks like it was just a quick primer coat put on the barge itself. Could they have planned all along on final painting once on site and tested? The upper part of the barges looks fine and is not showing the same weathering.
You ever seen rust on faded black paint?
