How to "Vintage" or Distress" Mini Fiddy

[daytona4me]

So I have decided to make this Mini Fiddy look Vintage.... but how to go about distressing it?

I've heard about putting the dial in the oven and turning the heat up.. I was going to toe it behind the truck and go for a spin... etc.. but I figure someone has done the leg work on this already ... so why re-invent the wheel...

I'm open for ideas guys... what do you think I should do?

Oh.. another question.. I want to do something to the hands.. maybe scuff them and soak them in salt water... then... how to speed up the rusting?? .. .hmm... dont know what to do with the hands.. but you guys see where I'm going.

My technic:

Use the tar (Nichotine at cigarettes) thinner it with water aplly on to dial ad numerics Let it dry Also puff some smoke to inside of glass make it also vintage look.......Thats all

Here is the pict

If I had to do it again I would use watercolor.

Used coffee and sugar for this.
