Using embossing powder on exhaust pipes

[ranma]

I stumbled on a rusty exhaust pipe idea while using embossing powder for interior carpeting. I first painted the exhaust pipes with testors rust paint, then used silver embossing powder (which actually looks gray) after that set I then repainted the rust paint over the embossing powder this giving the exhaust pipe a rough texture. The '68 Chevelle.  is the second model that I used this idea on. The first car I did this on was my '64 Impala

Great tip. The effect is dead-on perfect.
