Bronze/Gold Coloring of Stainless Steel Window Handles (2,000+)

We have an awarded contract for Hickam AFB in Hawaii that requires aprox 2,000 cam operated window handles on the Headquarters building. Contract specifies Stainless Steel handle finish to match bronze windows. Painting is not acceptable. Is there an etch or other technique to get bronze or even gold finish? Contractor is obliged to pay if coloring process is available. Please call me if you have any questions.

B&M Finishers, one of our advertising jobshops here, offers "Prismatic" coloring of stainless steel. I think that's what you're looking for.
