texturing help

Hi all, I am fishing for tips on how to texture my low poly tank that I have made.

Need/Want to do:
1) All the small bumps and nicks that you would find on a tank.

2) I have a few images of the tank that I have made so I locations that I can apply. My question is can I also add a bump map to rust?

3) I have nut and bolt texture is it possible to also create a bump map from this?

Thanks for reading.
(sorry for the questions I have just started out modelling.)

In my opinion, you're thinking too small, too soon. Worry about the overall picture before you worry about things like little bumps. You need to think about how close you're going to get to the tank, and focus on getting that looking good first.
