Depends. Patina is something that adds to something through weathering, rust is deterioration. Bronze becomes relatively corrosion resistant with a proper patina, for instance. Passivation layers are a thing.

If its discoloration without texture change I'd say patina, if discoloration and texture change I'd call it rust.

Aren't they both different ends of the oxidation scale? Like when copper goes blue, that's patina and when iron goes brown it's rust

I think it depends what the item is. If it’s a wrench with rust on it, then it’s rust. If it’s a dresser from the 1700s and there’s dirt use on it over the years of use, that’s a patina.

Depends! I feel like rust takes your mind to a different mental image than patina. I use them both.

Depends on the method of "application". One is a destructive oxidization.

It depends, is you leave it, it's patina, if you remove it, it's definitely rust.

I feel like this needs more context in order to be answered. When I hear the word rust, I think of pitting and damage to the metal. When I hear patina, I think of a change in color over time or a thin coat of tarnish. To me patina just shows something is old, while rust is destructive.

Patina is wear and tear that occurs despite proper maintenance. Rust CAN and most likely WILL occur at some point in time. So I'd say it's one before the other honestly.
