Does spray-on Chalkboard paint rust? I WANT to faux finish rust on an already black surface. Will it work?

The only other idea I have is to use metal flakes, but I'm worried the clear-coat to apply the metal flakes would protect the metal flakes from actually rusting.





Is there a simple (safe?) household protect I can use to make the rusting go faster?Does spray-on Chalkboard paint rust? I WANT to faux finish rust on an already black surface. Will it work?
There is actually a paint system you can purchase that will effectively create rust on any surface....here is the link.

get some cheap small plastic bottles of paint from a craft store that are variations of the ';rust'; effect you are looking for. Get a plastic container lid and dab a little of each shade on it. Then get a dry sponge and pick up the paint. Get a black piece of cardboard and dab the sponge on the cardboard until you have the amount and texture you are seeking.


Simply do this on the chalkboard. When you have achieved your effect you can coat it with a matt transparent urethane, or just leave it if it is not going to be touched.


Forget the metal flakes...too difficult.
It depends on your surface I used lemons to help rust a metal plate .sometimes you may have to play with paint color to get the rust look.stainless will not rust take some steel wool and wet it place on the surface old brillo pads work great.
