doesnt look too much like rust. With the colors toned down a bit, that might help.

as said by the well namer ‘dfhfdg’ tone it down a lot, and then play with the eraser on both rust levels to get rusty patches - rust hardly ever rusts evenly all over. this works much better. (perhaps even try soft light instead of hard.)
