If you are thinking about doing the “old school” rat rod thing I would really really really
like to try and talk you out of it. But, I have seen some people who try and emulate the look by laying a lighter color base coat then with a darker flattened topcoat over, then you could wet sand the topcoat so the lighter shows through. That would give the appearance of an older paint job that has faded and worn through. If you are talking about an all over rust look I have no idea, but I’ve seen people make model cars and reproduce the look, you may try that as a source and adapt it to a larger scale.
