Traditional Rainbow and Torch Patinas are very interesting finishes. Depending on the application method and the metal used, many different finishes can be created using these patinas. Traditional Patinas are available in 8oz., 32oz., and 1gal. sizes. One gallon of a Traditional Rainbow Patina generally covers 200 sq. ft. per coat. Multiple coats may be required depending on your desired finish.

For best results, apply Rainbow Patina to a shiny and clean metal surface. This patina does not work with the Metal Coatings.

When dry, protect the finish with 2 coats of Clear Guard.

On iron and steel, Torch Patina is designed to be used over a base of Copper Plate Patina to create the torch effect. The uniformity and colors of the patina are determined by the application techniques. Without the Copper Plate Patina base, Torch Patina will turn steel a mixture of black, grey, and rust. 

On Bronze, Brass, and Copper, Torch Patina is designed to be applied directly to clean metal.
