Patina Copper ?

[Guest]

Had someone call today and ask if I could simulate patina (weathered) copper. I was wondering if anyone had tried this. Apparently it (patina copper) is popular with metal craftsmen.

HHMMM, maybe copper trans over that rust patina. I might have to try it.

Re: Patina Copper ?

We can simulate or obtain many of these colors, however we need more information. The biggest difference in the variations of copper powder coatings, is whether there is metallic content in the color or not. What I mean is that a lot of the older weathered colors with a label such as antique or patina, don't always have metallic in them. To get the true copper appearance you need metallic content within the copper color, however many of the newer and past colors that have the rustic label, have had no metallic content what so ever. Some of these colors do on the other hand and that is what we need to know.

Thanks

I bet they are wanting the color shift like a piece of weathered copper has, not a solid color. That English guy had a product that looked just like patina but he didn't have a distributor in the usa. He also had a wood grain that looked super cool. I can't think of his web site but I probably have an email from him somewhere. I was trying to get him to send me a lb or 2 but he blew me off

I think what they are looking for is weathered copper w/ hints of greyish green in it.

I don't have the guys info that I can find, but there was an English guy that posted on here about a month ago that had a powder that gave that effect, 1 stage. A wood tone and a marble too, wild stuff. But he didn't have a distributor in the US.
