A method I have used to get rust into panel edges is using enamel paints brushed on un-thinned, then using a cotton bud dipped in thinner/white spirit and working in vertical strokes top to bottom wipe off the paint from the centre of the panel. You can control the amount of paint you remove by how many strokes you use. This leaves rust in the panel edges and acts as a wash on the panel surface.
To add variety, dab spots of rust coloured oil here and there then use a flat brush moistened with thinner and draw it vertically downwards to give the impression of a rust spot breaking through the paint and streaking down the panel. With care you can also use pigments, dry, for the same effect.


I use these techniques on railway wagons with pleasing results.

Could yo put up a picture please?
