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?

Back in the day my parents had an antique's business, where they did a lot of "antiquing". Meaning they made new things look old. I worked one summer and was in charge of pigs. They got pigs from China, shiny painted metal pigs. I had a cat-o-ninetails made out of chain. I would beat the pigs while spraying them with saltwater, it worked very fast and looked very patined very fast. We would then use a dark wax to age the remaining paint.
