Hey all,

I am looking for a custom mix for patina'd copper. Anyone have a formula they like?

Hi John,
I use a two part paint from'Modern Options'
http://www.modernoptions.com
you paint on the basecoat and top coat it with the "patina green antiqueing solution" it works pretty good and you can control the effect. I used it on a 1:35 statue to create a weathered patina on bronze.
Cheers,
C.
