Yep that's another way. But the coating has got to be really thin and even (spray painted) or else it may look like varnished brass. If you check out some brass fixtures in stores, you'll notice that with some of them, it's impossible to tell that they have been lacquered while with others, it shows a lot. Also, you have to be pretty sure that the effect of the tarnished brass is exactly the way you want before you start spraying because, once it's done, it stays that way ! That's why I suggested to use the flanel cloth; if you don't get it just right, you know you get another chance in a few days ! The best things is probably to do various tests on scrap pieces, like Don suggested. |
