Hi, Chris. Thanks for visiting finishing.com! Please let us know whether you are a homeowner with one piece you're trying to get done, or a factory seeking a vendor for ongoing business.

If you're a homeowner/hobbyist, you can buy patina in a bottle .
and 'paint' it on to the metal you wish to patina if you can't find a jobshop interested in one piece. For a deeper insight into the subject see if you can get access to "The Colouring, Bronzing & Patination of Metals" [on eBay, Amazon, AbeBooks affil links] .

Good luck!

Regards,
Ted Mooney, P.E.
