Rust?

Hey,
Just a quick question for you guys... what would be the best way to simulate rust? I am going to do a model of Mater from the movie cars, and I was thinking talcom powder mixed in with rust color... not sure, just need some advice. Thanks in advance,
Chris

Try this stuff- Rustall (http://www.rustall.com/).

Take a look at this post (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=3676128&postcount=88)of mine. also you can look in the rest of the thread for the engine/exhaust post where I also did some "rusting".

If it's of any use and you would like to know more, you can PM me.

Or you got this one (http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM87085) with more on www.hlj.com

Here's an article on rust that might be helpful:

Personally, I use Mr Surfacer 500 and stipple it onto the surface to be rusted. (basically smash an old paintbrush onto it) This gives you a texture. Then paint it brown, and when that's dried I use Mig Pigments (rust color) to give it the final rust look. Here are a couple examples of mine.

Notice the exhausts:
