Well I have decided to go with a commercial reactive paint system. The cooper paint actually contains copper dust which when treated with the aging agent will oxidize the metal to create a patina. I bought both the green and blue patinas so this should be interesting. The first step was removing the old clear protective lacquer from the brass and copper to get it ready for the primer paint and activator. I used lacquer thinner and some elbow grease.
