Does anyone know where I can get information on the "faux" green or "patina"
finishes as applied to iron.  I am referring to the crinkly, green finishes
that make iron look like old copper.  One of my customers is dead set on this
type of finish for an iron bed and I need to know about a paint source,
application technique, etc.

Thanks,           hollis

	How about copper plating the bed and giving it a real patina?

Hollis -

The local powder coat folks have a pretty amazing selection of colors and
glosses.  I've seen something like what you've described done in a matte finish
that looked decent.  I do like the idea of copper plating it though.  What
about forging it from silicon bronze in the first place :-)
