hello ya'll here is my version of rusting plastic. i started with amt's 55 chevy cameo this will be curbside so i notched the body for stance.

and the rest will be body work and a little interior work.  photo (101).JPG   25.54K   9 downloads  photo (102).JPG   27.72K   9 downloads

after cleaning up the body a bit lay down your primer  photo (103).JPG   25.48K   9 downloads  photo (104).JPG   28.58K   16 downloads

let primer dry then lightly sand spots you want rusty and brush on rust enamel pretty liberally.  photo (105).JPG   36.25K   23 downloads  photo (106).JPG   27.88K   25 downloads

let dry then run under the faucet the wetter the better. sprinkle salt everywhere you want. the water allows the chipping effect where primer shows along with rust.  photo (89).JPG   29.93K   22 downloads

spray your main color while still wet  photo (90).JPG   25.1K   26 downloads
