I'm trying to acheive an oil rubbed look on black flat painted hardware for kitchen cabinets that were originally brass looking with porcelain center pieces. Now they look too new and I'm trying to get that distressed age look.Any suggestions and do they need to be sealed with a flat polyurothene also too not have a shiny appearance. Thank you Becky Becky Fielden

+++++++ Real oil rubbed bronze is achieved by copper plating, then applying a brown patina, then buffing away the patina from the corners and wear points, bringing back the copper look there, Becky. More about how to do oil rubbed bronze on letter 34482. If you are starting with black paint, you can't actually patina it. However you can apply highly decorative paint. Achieving the burnished look, with wear points a lighter tone and recessed areas a darker tone, may take some skill and practice. Good luck.
