RUSTED GUITAR FINISH

Farrow	RUSTED GUITAR FINISH Actually, this is somthing I'm _trying_ to achieve. I saw a pic of a James Trussart Tele with a "rusted" finish. The guitar looked like it had been sitting in a junkyard leaning against a car for twenty years. Anybody know a good "fake rust" spray or process? I'm leaning towards making the a steel body front, but don't really want the weight... The tone, maybe, but the weight, no. I've seen references to "rust" products in some model-making books, but can't seem to find anything like that in real life. Thanks, guys. Farrow http://surf.to/pharaohamps
