Making Corrugated Iron Look Old But Not Rusty

Hi there - I have just bought three sheets of corrugated iron to use as a screen behind our BBQ. The sheets are very shiny and I was wondering is there anything anyone knows that I could paint on that will make the shine go away so it looks like old roofing? I am not after a rust effect, just a duller zinc colour. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
