    Rust

    Its not iron fillings.

    We did it to my mates Mk1 a few years ago. all you do is take a sander to the areas you want to rust. (We orbital sanded the whole car) then sprayed it down with concentrated salt water every day for about aweek then just left it. Before you know its got a proper furry coat on it.

    You wouldn't believe the attention it got all rusty, slammed on a set of Schmidt splits.
