Water Base Dye Oxide Patina Colors

The Dye Oxide patinas do not contain acids; they are UV safe, indoor, or outdoor oxides. These patinas may be applied hot or cold to any metal including iron, steel, and aluminum without causing rust. They are best applied hot; they do not react with the metal. The color of these patinas will remain the same; they will not change as with an acid patina. The metal surface needs to be clean before application. The Dye Oxide patinas are more transparent than the Universal patinas.

Ferric Nitrate/Ferric Chloride is a hot patina for bronze, brass, and copper.

Japanese Brown is a brown patina for iron and steel, which may be applied hot or cold. This patina will create a golden color on bronze, brass, and copper.

Tan is a patina for all metals and may be applied hot or cold.

Potassium Dichromate is an interesting orange patina for bronze, brass, and copper. Also, when diluted, Potassium Dichromate may be used as a stop out for rust on iron and steel.

Deep Brown is a beautiful mahogany/brown patina for bronze, brass, and copper.

Mahogany is a patina best used on copper. When used on a polished surface, a beautiful transparent brown patina will form with swirls of color. On a non-polished surface, a nice brown will appear. On bronze or brass, this patina turns a nice brown. Mahogany works well as a base patina under traditional greens or blues as it will make these colors more vibrant. In addition, Mahogany is one of the few patinas that will react with stainless steel, resulting in a gray color.

Antiquing patina beautifully and easily ages bronze, brass, copper, iron, and steel. Darkening patina is great for aging or darkening the Metal Coatings or cold cast/resin materials, yet it will darken all other metals as well. This patina will create a beautiful transparent brown on iron and steel.

Ron Young details the application process for many of these traditional brown patinas in his series of free video lessons.

Slate Black Patina is a versatile and unique finish for use on iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, brass, or copper.

Applied hot, Slate Black will create a deep brown patina on aluminum and a red-green finish on stainless steel. On iron, steel, and nonferrous metals, Slate Black will form a black patina when applied cold.

Before applying this patina, sandblasting or sanding is required to clean the surface of oil, oxides, and residues. Slate Black may be applied as a spray or in an immersion process. Depending on the application method chosen, the results will range from a uniform solid color to a layered textured appearance. Slate Black Patina may be diluted up to 50% with distilled water depending on the desired strength of finish. The finish may be burnished wet or dry. Additional patinas can be layered over a Slate Black base. When dry, protect the finish with multiple coats of a clear sealer.

In his ongoing series of free video lessons, Ron Young demonstrates the Slate Black Patina application process on bronze cold cast resin.

Black Magic Patina instantly creates a beautiful rich black patina on clean iron & steel. Rust will not occur immediately as with other darkening patinas. Water rinsing is a good neutralizer and will not cause rust. Rust will occur after 12 hours if a clear sealer is not applied.

Black Magic will darken bonded bronze, brass, and copper castings as well as Sculpt Nouveau’s Metal Coatings to an orange-black color.

Black Magic creates a beautiful brown-black patina on cleaned bronze, brass, and copper.

Stainless Black Patina is made to create a black patina finish on stainless steel.

Universal Patina Solutions

Universal Patina solutions come in a wide range of colors. They do not contain acids; they are UV safe, indoor or outdoor oxides. Universal patinas may be used on all metals and the Metal Coatings. They may be blended with each other or any other type of patina. Universal Patinas are non-reactive, UV safe and do not contain acids. They adhere best to warm metal (180-200°F) but may also be applied to cold metal. The Universal Patinas bind on to the metal surface, they do not react. The color of these patinas will remain the same; they will not change as with an acid patina. The metal surface needs to be clean before application. These patinas may be used together with other patinas and dye oxides.

Vista Series Patina Solutions

Vista patinas are a two part patina combined in one solution. The base patina is a blend of chemicals that produce a beautiful green on bronze, brass, and copper, or an exquisite rust on iron & steel. Added to this base solution are different colored oxides which will blend with the first reaction to form a marbled patina. For example, using the vista black on bronze would produce a green and black patina and a rust and black patina on iron.

Smart Stain

Smart Stain is a strong, non-hazardous, fast drying, transparent patina system. It has no VOC and no odor. Smart Stain works on any metal or substrate as well as over patinas and other oxides.

Smart Stain is made by combining finely ground, naturally occurring colored oxides with a water base polymer/resin binder. It is sold concentrated and may be diluted with distilled water up to 25% to increase transparency. Only Smart Coat 1K should be used to dilute any further.

For exterior applications, Smart Stain should be sealed with three layers of Smart Coat 1K (with a one hour drying time between each layer).

Smart Stain contains UV inhibitors and will not fade outdoors if maintained properly. Maintenance requirements will vary by location. In most environments, regular application of a wax or oil is sufficient to maintain this finish.

Solvent Base Dye Colors

Use the solvent dyes directly on any metal or material, including glass. They may be used to duplicate a patina or apply over a patina to alter or enhance the color. The dyes will tint resins, epoxies, lacquers, and waxes. For indoor or outdoor use on all metals and metal coatings.

Solvent Based Dye Thinner   

Patina Stain from Sculpt Nouveau

Patina Stains are blended to match chemical or traditional patinas, but are easier to apply and manage. Because the Patina Stains include a blend of our Solvent Dyes and Permalac sealer, they are UV stable.

These stains may be sprayed, brushed, or rubbed on any metal. They may be thinned to produce a lighter shade. One gallon of Patina Stain covers approximately 300 sq/ft. For best results, over-spray with Permalac after application.

The stains are available in Verde (copper green), Black (looks like gun bluing or PC9), and Brown (oil rubbed bronze). They are also available in normal and environmentally friendly formulas. The environmentally friendly formula has lower VOC, no solvent odor, and may be thinned with Permalac EF or acetone.

Permalac Lacquer

Permalac is a clear air-dry lacquer that is designed for exterior protection of surfaces of steel, aluminum, copper, silver and bronze at higher temperatures. Permalac contains inhibitors for UV and corrosion protection. It has been found that even a blow torch could not discolor a brass fitting protected by Permalac! In a recent field test, Permalac outperformed 6 other coatings including Syncrylac in protecting steel surfaces. It should give satisfactory exterior protection for at least ten years under normal conditions. Considerably longer life is expected. For brush application, it is ready to use. For spray application, thinner must be used. Permalac air dries to the touch in less than 5 minutes; may be force dried faster at 250°F. Air dries hard in an hour or so, depending on the film thickness, temperature, and other conditions.

A remarkable interior and exterior coating which is air-dried and provides a glossy, crystal clear, highly durable finish. Originally developed as a protective finish for copper, brass and bronze, Permalac has also been used successfully on steel, wood, terracotta and concrete. It is weatherproof, and resistant to both ultraviolet light and salt air atmospheres.
