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.

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!
