For that authentically aged Hot Wheels truck, you'll wanna dive into the world of 'weathering'. It’s basically a fancy term for making something new look old and worn. Start with a light sanding to rough up the surface, it helps the paint stick better. Then, mix some burnt umber and orange acrylic paint to get that perfect rust color. Dab it on with a sponge or a dry brush to mimic natural rust patterns. Don't forget to seal it with a clear coat to protect your masterpiece!

Ever tried the salt method? Paint your truck the color you want underneath the rust, then apply water where you want 'rust' and sprinkle salt over it. Once dry, paint over with the rust color. When completely dry, brush off the salt, and boom, you've got yourself some realistic rust.

Just grab some rust-effect paint from the hobby store. It's literally paint that dries with a rust-like texture. No muss, no fuss.

Listen, if you're not into the whole painting scene, just leave it outside for a real-world effect. Simplicity at its finest.
