I painted sets for movies and TV for 11 years and we were called on to to do fake rust a lot I did most of a submarine one time anyway your rust looks pretty good. You could make it better by putting more dark around the bolts and edges it is a little bit subtle also for a extra great look you can take some gloss varnish and with your tooth brush spatter a little and it will look wet in those spots. It's a very nice job though

wow that shelf looks really good! Very creative on how you did faux rust. You must have a large bathroom to have a brick wall in there. I love the whole wall with the tin looking shelves also! Great job.

Thanks so much! The bathroom isn't terribly large actually, just long and narrow, next to the outside wall which is brick. Thanks!
Have a question about this project?
how did you attach it to the wall?????
I have the details about that over in the blog post but essentially there are little wood block supports on either end underneath. Click here for more details.
