Looking at the "proto" picture:
The light areas, around where the black has "faded/flaked" appears to be primer.
I would think that the black paint be "erased" down to the primer, and a dark rust be worked into the "erased areas, leaving just a little rust tinted primer around the edges. Then a lighter rust where needed, and a final dullcoat, once you are satisfied with the results.
in any event, "underdone" is better than "overdone".
have fun.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
