You can have some of my rust if it helps

Are you using rust paint to get the effect? I saw a car at Ace Cafe at Hot Rod night (need to upload pics still) that had a coating of rust paint on it. Gave it the petina look without the worry of actual rust in the panels

You are getting that rust affect down spot on ,especially with it being a textured finish .Each to there own Cheers Neil

Ref the rust paint
I have bought some of the rust effect paint(From a manufaturer called Verometal) but could not get the effects how i wanted them.
This may be what you saw on the car at Ace Cafe.
This appears to be great for painting complete panels as the paint has 90% metal in the basecoat and when dry you rub the finish over with wire wool to expose the metal which then rusts (You can add a patina spray which helps the process aswell)
Once you get to the level of rust you want you can then seal it in with a matt laquer.

As i needed to create patches of rust that was different in texture and amounts of rust i ended up using six different colours of acrylic paint and learning as i went along with different combinations and washes etc.
Taking a close look at images of the actual film car this appears to be the technique they used..
Kept me amused !!!!!!

Is it just me, or this is actually nuts?
I'd prefer your approach of building the effect up.

Took Bumblebee to Knightcon in Leeds the other week.
Fantastic event with loads of film and TV vehicles in attendance.

Bumblebee was on the red carpet on the main entrance along with Optimus Prime and some new Camaro SS and a Dodge police car

Did anyone here manage to along???
Estimated crowds were 25,000 to 30,000 people on the day

Nice De Lorean from Back to the future
