Need Help to achieve aged white paint effect on decorative cast Iron.

Dear Sirs,

We have a project where we need to achieve an aged paint effect in white on cast iron decorative urns, etc. I'm working with a rust base and for this item we are not too concerned about more natural rust occurring.

The materials we need to use need to be found easily in China. Most preferred solution would be something we could place on the paint after it's applied to age and breakdown the paint, hopefully causing cracking and flaking.

If you can be of any assistance that would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
