That is indeed a good resource. You still have to wait a while for the panels to rust though...

Material does not arrive pre-rusted. Panel will rust naturally with exposure to the weather.

And this from their FAQ;

What do I have to do to get the roofing to rust ?

Nothing. This material will rust on its own if left exposed to the weather. Getting the material wet will increase the speed in which it rust.

Does it come pre-rusted ?

Currently it does not, but for a premium price it could be done. Unless you have money to waste let nature do the work.

I'm guessing their stuff either isn't galvanized or at least not the same way as most of the galvanized panels I've seen. I like that they've included photo examples of how their panels weather; Stages Of Weathering Within a few weeks it looks nice and aged.

Thanks for the resource, Ben.
