I'm sure you can get the same effect by stripping to bare metal and painting with sea water. :roll:

I love this idea!
Really funny when you want to rust your car up, others go "don't do it", then you find paint that gives the effect but saves your metal and then the same people go "rather just take the paint off and rust it proper"

Im going to do that to my bumpers, sand of all the paint and leave it outside,,maybe give it a wash in blouberg, then spray clear coat,
Even though its not the real thing, the paint is still a cool idea,and could save you money in the long run when you one day need to remove all the real rust :)
