Aluminum dyeing to appear Oil Rubbed Bronze

I would like to dye a silver aluminum shower surround to appear like a oil rubbed bronze finish. Is this possible?

Try to find professional plater-he can copper or even bronze plate your object. You can do it yourself but that is somewhat complicated(immersion zinc + immersion copper+ some oil and heat or chemical treatment and clearcoat). Hope it helps and good luck!
