A little fun with rust

[RobertP]

I created this simple sign for a guy for his man cave, I made one awhile back using this same painting method but added color to subdue the rust effect, this time I got to go full bore with it.

I so love that finish, can you tell me how you do it please?

Wow nice finish, iron based paints and patina finish? How did you do that?

[CNC Carver]

That looks great. Very nice finish I liked your last one but this one is even better.

Great job on this sign, Robert. The rust effect came out just super. From the picture, you could never tell is wasn't metal. I am sure it was a big hit. I suspect a lot of folks here would be interested in learning more about the method you used....

I agree with everyone else great job, now you just have to tell us how you did it.

The finish on this is so easy to do, I use Metal effects paint by Modern Masters. They have an iron paint that contains iron particles, you put a couple coats on, spray on an activator and wait.....an hour later you have what you see in the picture. I put a coat of sealant on it to protect it.. Thats it, really simple stuff.
