Thats what aging is all about. The appearance is never regular, and it does
have rust spots etc.
I did an art project for an artist, and we used old tin to build a barn.
1860 vintage prairie barn. I have pics of it and it came out nice. We put
a roof on the building with "new plastic roofing" (greenhouse type) and then
covered it with the old rusty tin characteristic of praire barns in that
vintage. So in this case it was to make it look old.......
