I’ve used Rustall which is a four step process. Their black wash works well for me. Beware - I think steps 1 and 2 might be alcohol-based. I’ve had some unexpected results from those steps before. Here’s an idea of what you can do with Rustall. Before   |

Maybe a tutorial needs to be done. Although there are a million of them on YouTube.

Don’t feel like a heel. There’s no “Dave” visible in 68383. No worries!

Carefully applied, the white can be made to look like paint that has oxidized, the way a lot of older cars look in the junkyards.

I used the Rustall system on this old Ford:  I used all four steps, and added some backyard dirt to it, also. |

Definitely not the look I’m going for. I think that is coming from step three. You can leave off that step. Step two might be the one you're looking for to do a dirty black wash. |
