Question type: Car Customization

I have a 1966 Chevy c20 pickup that I'm fixing up
with my brother. For a temporary paint job until we
have money we need a cheap way to get it to look
nice... I don't mind the rust color but I want it to
look shiny. Any ideas or help?

You can also try just clear coating it, like many hot rodders do when they want to keep the patina.
