Need to match this bronze/brown

[JNZFinishing]

I have a customer who wants to get some bathroom fixtures coated to match this bronze/brown finish:

http://www.deltafaucet.com/bath/details/T17T451-RB.html

He sent me the parts w/ a sample piece to try to get as close as I can. Its more of a brown to me but I guess it could be considered "bronze" too. Hard to really tell. So I need suggestions as to what would the closest to it. The pieces in that pic are alittle lighter then the actual piece I was sent as a sample but if theres something thats close, I'll make it work.

It is kinda hard to tell in the link but what about the bronze hammertone ? It has a nice bronze tint to it & is enough "contrast" that it will not look odd.... sometimes i find with trying to "match" you are best to go with something that is a little different but still offers the same affect?

That is hard to match by looking at the color in the link. The color doesn't show at all, however I think I know what color you are after. I will try to get some samples of similar colors like that for you on Monday. Let us know if we can do anything else.

Thanks

Thanks, let me know what you guys can come up with I know its hard to tell from the pic but I know from seeing the piece in person, its definitely more of a brown then a bronze. I'm sure its some kind of special coating over the copper that gives it that finish. I just want to get as close as possible.

It would be best if you sent your sample to PBTP to match...takes the guess work out ....and where have you been?

I may have to do that if I can't find a good match online. I've been working on our new oven So haven't had much time to post but now thats its done, I'll be back around.

It was pot metal, the base coat was Rosies Brilliant Brass. The bottom left show what it looks like with one coat of candy brown. The upper pieces have two coats, a very rich dark chocolate brown.

No, its a non metallic finish on the sample piece I have. I think that candy brown in 2 coats might be the closest I've seen so far. I know I'm not going to be able to match it perfect so if I can get close I'm happy.

FYI- the candy brown is a semi gloss finish...
