-----Antique or patina powder coat sources
Are there powder coat finishes available that give a patina finish, such as bronze, aged brass, antique copper etc? I am looking for a more sophisticated finish that has a good patina or antique look to it, that can be applied to iron. Something that has a couple of shades of colors that make up the final finish. I have seen finishes like this on higher end iron bed frame, but cannot seem to find what I am looking for. Any suggestions?

Rob,
If this is a one-time thing, I believe that one good approach is to coat the bed with a bronze or copper "metallic surfacer", and follow this with a patina coat which works upon the metal in the metallic surfacer. You can get both products from Modern Options / Sophisticated Finishes

if interested.
If it's a volume item, indeed powder coating might be a great approach. Vendors such as Tiger Drylac have two-part metallic finishes that offer veining, etc. Good luck.
