You could declare the chrome/buckled/rust pattern up front, then apply the
texture map at point of use. That way the warp gets applied before the map. Like
this:

#declare RustFn = function
{ pigment
  { bozo
    color_map { [0 rgb 0] [1 rgb 1] }
    turbulence 0.7
    scale 0.2
  }
}

#declare t_Rusted_chrome = texture
{ function { RustFn(x, y, z).x }
  texture_map
  { [0.43 t_Chrome]
    [0.53 t_Buckled_chrome]
    [0.53 t_Rust scale 0.1]
  }
}

(That last scale 0.1 on the rust was me trying to make it more fine-grained. Not
sure if it's any better offhand)
