Auch, it's not really working. Maybe you could just put a link. Wink

Edit: normal linking doesn't seem work either.

I also used this Julien can, but also some more stuff.
You should roll some more grey paint over the rust paint when it looks too much like can painting.
Few weeks ago, I've seen a new painting making real rust over the paint in a shop. Can't remember where it was... Rolling Eyes

Real Rust would be better... but it makes your car more fragile...

either way, it's a lot of work to get a really nice effect (probably as hard as doing a real nice shiny paint job)

For real rust, have a look at 2cv that are weathered and old/rusty... and see where the paint wears out...

you can then wet sand your car to get the same gradual worn look...

have fun

You have the right colours, there.

For a better look, take some of the original car colour, thin it down (1:1), spray a light coat over the "rust". Then, lightly sand away the colour (with fine waterproof paper or scotchbrite pad) until the rust appears.

It will look like the rust comes from under the paint (like in reality) and you will have less gloss on the brown, which makes it look more natural.
