Again - looks awesome!
The steps were explained above in a link. Basically I spray painted the hood with with as many as three different colors (base color (light gray), followed by a rust color then black). What I did after the layers of paint were dry with the burgundy colored scotchbrite was to soften the transitions between the colors by sanding them to blend them to look more like actual weathered paint.

Make sense??
