    For the steel natural look I would look into POR 15 metal mask.
    You can buy one of those DIY fill whatever you are going to paint aerosol cans. They come empty but have a small canister, pressurized. 
    Then just spray the metal mask on parts you want to have a natural look. I did it and the front end parts came out great.

    Use this and the metal mask. Why?

    Because the metal mask is a hard epoxy type of paint. It won't have rust breaking thru later on.
