Spray labels lightly with a spattering of black & rust spray paint for an aged/rusted look (optional).  Let dry.

Spray with a heavier coat of black paint, making sure the black gets in the cracks.  Then wipe the high parts off with a paper towel while still wet to reveal some of the silver.  Play around with this, it's somewhat trial and error, until you get the look you want. 

When you have a good look, let dry thoroughly, then apply to a flat spot on your bottles. 

Note:
If you don't have a flat spot on some of your bottles, consider making a chain with a tag to go around the bottle's neck (a homemade version of something like this: decanter/bottle label), and apply to that instead.  This is a nice touch as you can then remove and reuse easily.
