Try uspto.gov webpages there you can find some infos on that subject(download free full text patents database). Old Fishlock's book on metal colouring is very good starting point too. Good luck!

Dear Mr Mazen
hope keeping fine .

composition you mentioned is for black nickel. for bronze plating you have to take solutions from suppliers yellow or white and last but not least for patina on brass you will get many formulations but only gateway to it is metal colouring books which you can search from finishing.com (books).

regards and best of luck from your friend
