I have looked through books and Taken Advice from others who I talk to about painting. However I never really found the right colors or a good technique for painting really good looking rust.. Any suggestions?

It depends what surface you want to paint the rust onto.
Real rust often has an orangey colour in it and the advice given by bubber is good. I would lay down a coat of red oxide first.
Progressing rust causes blistering of the metal surface and surrounding paint because of expansion of the iron oxide compound.
The 'rust' on tanks arises because WW2 vehicles were often primed with red oxide paint. Once the surface paint wore away this was exposed.
Only ferrous metals 'rust'. Many other metals oxidise in a different way, such as silver blackening, copper getting verdigris, aluminium becoming dulled or lead going dark grey.

I use 50/50 mix of Armor wash and Chestnut ink - it's not so much a rust color as a tarnish, but I like the effect. Sometimes I'll do a really like brown wash over it, sometimes not. Not sure i can spot the difference on the metal - it's usually a touch-up thing I end up doing before final highlights to make the edges more pronounced.

I'm not like them, but I can pretend.

I basicly use a combination of the teqhniques described by 1-UP and bubber,though latly it's been dificult as I've run out of chestnut ink and had to improvise with a home wash of devilin mud and the tinest watered down bit of dark flesh.
