What I am after is the "old style" snap on 2 edges, or nail up. Not grid style. I have seen a few done in reclaimed tin....and they were pretty awesome.
There are several manufacturers of them new, but $2/sf is tough- even for the plain primed ones. M Boss has plain tin tiles that need to be coated with something for $7.75/panel, which is just under $2/sf (plus freight, nails, trim, etc.) Decent quality used ones command a premium because of the "patina", so I doubt you'll find them that cheap either.
renovators supply has embossed paper ones that paint up pretty well. rensup.com I think. arch salvage yards are they only other place for that price range.
