Paint job question

What's it called when you make a truck paint job look old & faded & rusty looking on purpose?
Where can you find out how to do it?

It's called "Patina".
Yes, there are paints and treatments made to make them look old but have the protection of a new paint job.
Check with your local automotive paint supplier.
