50/50 works great for me. It kind of penetrates the steel and leaves a thin coat on the metal.

I use 40/60 paint to acetone. I like it thinner, but I dip a second time after the first coat dries.

I use 50/25/25. 50% acetone, 25% Rustoleum rusty metal primer, 25% Rustoleum black (flat or gloss doesn't matter). mix really well. They come out a really nice mud brown.
