I'm working on a project where I need to create a rusty patina on pieces of raw, mild steel. What's your favorite technique for the fastest way to get that rusty glow?

some type of acid.... IIRC the POR-15 metal ready will do it. I have cleaned and etched parts that I was not ready to paint and they began to rust in a few days. Or if you leave the metal ready on too long and it dries.
Guess that is why POR stands for Paint Over Rust. |
