Weatherizing new copper to match existing panels

Hi, I have a company that has an airconditioning unit on the roof of their building. Some hoodlum stole two sheets. The insurance company has asked us to replace the sheets but with the 2 new sheets put up against the old sheets it will not look nice. What can I use to pre-weather the copper to match the old copper?

Hi, Angie. When in the third world, do what the third worlders do. You won't get a good match and the hoodlums will steal a mix of new and old next week anyway. So beat them to it by selling the remaining copper for scrap yourself, then replace it all with copper colored aluminum :-)
