I found a source for new free corrugated 22 ga bare steel panels 3' wide.
I'm going to use them for a shade. The guy said they were 602 or
something
like that, meaning that the coating on them deteriorates quickly and
intentionally so that rust can form on the surface giving it the old barn
look. Is there any spray I can put on there to hasten the process? I can
get all I want and in lengths up to 16', and for a tip, the fork lift
operator loads them for me.

WATER?

Add salt to that!

Kind of humorous; all the country boys slapping Koolkote on the rusty
roof to make it all new and silvery looking while the city boys are
spraying salt water on the roof to make it look all old and rusty :-)
