Aged aluminum

I need to age aluminum panels to make them look old, any suggestions?

Hi, Robert. What do you think old aluminum looks like? Not trying to be facetious, but do you want it to look like corroded aluminum (white spots, crusty white volcanoes, streaked and white washed)? Or did you want the aluminum to look like rusty steel?

Regards,
