the type of steel will have a make a difference too. obviously mild steel is the best for rusting. |

I was just talking about the same for my rat rid project. Thinking brush paint - tractor pull through the rocks and a salt water dip. |

Muriatic acid wash should do it. Works on new hardware to make it look old and rusty.

Go to Micheals or AC Moore they have liquid rust I have used it on scale plastic models it works well and looks real. Just do some tests on scrap material first to see before you get an overkill on your body

That acid stuff doesn't look like fun stuff Just put the pieces in salt water for a few days and you'll be good, and it's non-toxic |
