Re: Weathered Sign
Used SteelF/X Patina's.
For the top section (Top to about half way down the "Watering Hole" text....Used Copper Patina...pretty much according to the directions.
Then re-wet the steel with water.....more water than normal....stood the sign vertical,starting where the Copper stopped, sprayed random shots of Pewter & Bronze Patina. The combination of the water runs, mixing with the Bronze and Pewter resulted in a look that the customer was looking for. He was very pleased with the final results.
Hope that makes sense.

Re: Weathered Sign
That looks great. What did you use for your white backing?
