Here is how I painted my Kill Team Arena metal doors. This method is based strongly on Next Level Paintings "5 Easy Ways- Weathering Metallic Surfaces" video. I would recommend checking it out, there is lots of great advice there.
Basecoat with any old silver. I used   Leadbelcher  as a primer and a base.
Spray an orange-yellow roughly, over any areas where water and grime may settle. I used   Bronze Flesh Tone  and kept it pretty thin.
Being slightly more precise, Use a right brown to cover a majority of the same area again. This time be a little more precise. I used   Beasty Brown  for this step.
Trace rivets, panel lines and corners from the previous step as closely as possible. This time use a red brown, like   German Red Brown .
Spray the whole surface with a mix of washes, to get a grimy colour. I used equal parts   Nuln Oil ,   Seraphim Sepia ,   Athonian Camoshade  and   Strong Tone . I gave it a couple.of passes and adjusted the ratio to get the shade I wanted.
Drybrush with a light metal, just enough to pick out edges and rivets. I used   Necron Compound .
Take a little   Ryza Rust  and add some water. Pop the watery mix around rivets and recesses, try and concentrate it on the darkest red-brown areas.
If any areas or rivets look to plain, add some visual interest with streaks or additional staining. I took some   Skeleton Horde  and went over rivets and recesses that I hadn't given any attention too. You could even use some super thin   Skrag Brown  if you wanted a lighter rust effect.
Paint the the whole light white. I would recommend a white with good coverage, like   Corax White . Dont worry about being too neat.
Spray a heavily thinned  pure white over the whole light and allow some to spill a little onto the surrounding area. Make sure this paint is super thin. I used a white ink, but   Dead White  is good too.
Spray the colour of your choice (I used   Aethermatic Blue ) over the area covered in the last two steps, spilling out a little further again. Be sure to only hit areas that light would reach. I would recommend painting in short, light blasts.
Re-establish the white selectively, in the places closest to the light source. I used my old friend   Dead White .
