So here is the trick! HAIR SPRAY!!

WTH you say, hair spray… I know I said the same thing.

He is how it works. Lay down the rust paints then apply a layer of hair spray where you want the rust effect to be.
Then apply the final color on top of the hair spray. Next you will need something rather expensive… hot tap water.

When you apply the hot water where you treated it with hair spray the water dissolves the hair spray making the
top layer of paint loose and it can be scratched off to reveal the random brown paint, thus creating the worn rust look.

Don’t believe it… keep on reading then and you can tell he how it turned out.

Applying the hair spray

The machine grey top coat…

then some magical water… let it set for 5 minutes or more.

I used a piece of wooden dowel to scratch the paint off. Then I used a 3M scrubbing pad to feather out the scratches.

Here are some different rust and worn spots I did on the case

It came out much better than I expected and I am very happy with the look.
