Easy Distressed Sign using Salt & Spray Paint

Kosher salt is applied to wet paint to create organic texture, mimicking rust and surface decay. The technique is versatile — while demonstrated with rust tones for a Halloween haunted house sign, the same approach works with any color palette for different aged or antique effects.
