I have a customer who bought an antique coffee grinder.
He sandblasted it and painted it.
It looks too shiny and new.
any tricks to make it look "old"?
it has quite a bit of striping which appears to be done with bronze powders...
sounds like this project may turn into a mini meet.

Bring it with you to the "Brush & Blade Express" meet, Mar. 27, 28 & 29.

We'll spray a flat clear on it.....if that is the right answer.



Joe,

Makin Chips and Havin Fun!

Try rubbing it with baking soda, that should do the trick.

If it's copper ... just hit it with Co2 out of a fire extingisher ... it will oxidise in seconds.

I once worked in a brewery with copper brewing vessels that had to be cleaned and polished monthly because of the CO2 coming off the brewing process!
