Has anyone ever made a "bronze look" sign or plaque from HDU?

I think I would blast away the background without using a grain fraim of course but, what finishes/paint would work best? Is there a bronze looking paint which is outdoor durable?
Thanks

LuminOre requires you to buy 6 kits to get the training and depending on which kit it's between $3000 & $6000. They wouldn't let you buy it otherwise when I called.

Wow!
Both VERY interesting products.
Costs a small fortune just to get enough to do one small sign though.
Thanks

Here's my 2 cents....
I once was shipped a freebee HDU "carved" casting. It was really cool. I primed it real good, then slapped on metallic bronze 1-Shot with a foamie. Then, I "antiqued" it by applying dark brown 1-Shot and rubbing away the excess. It looks cool! Cost: About $5.00.
Love- JILL
ps
make sure to wait at least a day between steps.

I have bought spray paints that give you that HAMMERED GOLD, HAMMERED COPPER, etc. look.
