Let's Patina!

[TylerD]

Saw this patina people do on their brass/copper/ss mods. Think it looks awesome.
I have a private 2 I want to patina. Just the brass pieces.
Check it.

That's sick! Good find Tyler

I never liked the look of brass on a mod, but I would actually think of getting one just to do this

Looks awesome, @TylerD. Have also seen peeps torching stainless steel for a blueish patina.

 

[TylerD]

I have seen the torching thing as well. Crazy things people do to kit.
I think the stainless will look cool when torched.

I will see what I will do to the pvt2. I will post here.

Patina started on Private V2 brass sleeves.
Well see how it turns out.
Got spare sleeves if it fails.

I still need to get some wax on it tonight and then I will take a pick. It came out a kind of blue.
Will post tonight.

Here it is.
I left it very long in the ammonia solution, so it turned a bit dark as well.
At first sight I didn't like it, but it looks ok.
I need to play a bit more with timing tho.
I like the old with shiny look.
Not everybody's cup of tea.

Looks like an exotic marblelizing !

 

[Rex Smit]

I like it....i think if you try and get it a bit more shiny it might fit in better with the shiny metal. I read somewhere that they varnish it.
But I think i am definitely going to try patina once my fasttech mod arrives...

This. I like this. Alot!

Good work @TylerD

 

[johan]

Yes you're right @Rex Smit , they use a clear poly-urethane spray that gives it some dimension and shine.

the Mokor's battery tube is laying for 2 days in rough salt and vinegar and has made like a copper camo effect but no greenish blue yet!

I think the Amonia made the dif with the blue/green.
I used this

 

[johan]

As I understand, the more acidic the solution the more green you will get?

 

[Hein510]

Ok cool! Think I've got some at home! Will check tonight!
