Well I had a PM from sschevyman1 asking about how to make the rust look, so I decided to share the tip with everyone along with pics of the end result.
Now there are different methods on going for the rust affect. One possible way is at most local hobby shops, they sell kits to make models etc look rusty. Depending on your hobby stores prices, this kit can be pricey.
The next possible way is waterbased craft paint found at craft stores and even Walmart. You can get rust color in different shades and the waterbased paint drys flat. All you need is a very small amount on a paintbrush. Even dab the brush on a piece of paper before applying by dabbing to your custom. You'll want to apply a dark rust color first and highlight it with a lighter rust color after.
And the last possible method is believe it or not, womens cover-up make-up. This method gives the most realistic look of rust. Womens cover-up comes in many different shades that include rust colors. Same as the craft paint, you want a dark and light color shade of rust. After you get home with your make-up and your wife is very concerned on why you bought make-up.:woohoo: Get to small plastic baggies (Zip-locks work great) Try and get the cover-up (The Powder Itself) in the baggie and crush it up til it is a fine powder. Once done, use a paintbrush to dab into the baggie and dab the powder onto your custom where you want the rust affect. Again, darker color first, then highlight with the lighter color. I find when I cut straight across the brissles of my paintbrush to get more of the brissles touching the area at the same time, gives better results. Remember though, that this make-up semi-drys, so after your done, you can rub it off, so be carefully when handling your custom after you applied the rust look. These customs are not for playing with anyways, so when dsiaplyed and not touched, you'll have a killer rusty custom.
Hope this helps everyone. Remember, "Trial and Error", practice makes perfect. Oh and have a practice car before trying on your custom.
Here is the end result with the make-up. Not the best pic, but you get the idea.

And here is with craft paint except I only used one shade of color. If I added a lighter shade from highlights, the affect would of been a lot better.

And here I used a combo of craft paint for the darker color and the make-up for the highlights which turned out great also.
