Spray on wood stains and clear-coat.

I'm currently using pieces of tin can for
a project and am trying to create a rust patina
on the surfaces.
I've tried muriatic acid (which was effective in
stripping the shiny plating on the metal), followed by
a clorox/vinegar bath (which blackened the metal),
but have been unsuccessful in inducing a deep brown rusty
coating.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
