Does anyone have a source for the copper powder used when spraying a copper finish?

Cool, thanks. I've give them a try. Has anyone here sprayed a copper-caster yet?

hey Jay -

I just stumbled across this.. In case you havent tried it yet - here's a finish using the Crescent Bronze powder. You should be able to get it thru any Sherwin Williams Store

Cool, thanks Dan. It's good to see an actual example of the bronze powder. Did you just mix it with clear lacquer?

I ended up just using ReRanch copper and cleared over the top with McFaddens. Came out good but man do I hate rattle cans!

Oh dear I feel some gas building, and it's not that burrito I had for lunch.

yeah - you just mix it into clear lacquer

and yeah.. gotta hate rattle cans after using a nice gun

but it looks like you got it done nicely.... plus even the smallest order of powder would probably do 100 gtrs !! :shock:
