Great first attempt! The key to learning to weather is to jump right in and get dirty. A good way to start is studying prototype photos of cars to recognize patterns of weathering and what typical colors occur. Remember to build your weathering up in layers, a few light coats is better than one heavy application. Also, try to ordinate spills down in streaks, to avoid a "smeared" on look. Study photos and try various techniques on "junk" cars you have laying around to master your skills. Weathering is very rewarding and improves the enjoyment of the hobby. Let me know if you would like more specifics...

I think that the amount of dust is ok,but I can see brush marks.Also,there are areas where the red is still to dark for such a heavily weathered car.You might want to try powdered chalk.
