I like the stance!! Not sure about those wheels, but maybe they'll grow on me

I've not tried it but in the artsy world they often want to accelerate rusting on projects to "age" them. Here's a clip from a university, where a guy goes into detail about the process, where he submerges a small piece of sheet metal in vinegar, then hydrogen peroxide, and finally sprinkling on salt.

I'm wondering if it might work to use vinegar & hydrogen peroxide in spray bottles, and then a saturated solution of salt water as a final spray? Might be worth a try on a piece of scrap, sitting vertical like the door surface? I'm pretty sure that the vinegar alone will accelerate the oxidizing, so if nothing else a spritz with vinegar every day or two might speed things up? Just thinking through my fingers, and haven't tried anything....... yet.
