Brown Patina Stain applied to iron and cold rolled steel

NEW! Patina Stains by 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.  For best results, over-spray with Permalac after application.

The stains are available in Black (looks like gun bluing or PC9), and Brown (oil rubbed bronze).

Sculpt Nouveau patinas are pre-mixed, ready-to-use patinas that can be applied to metal or to a surface that has been treated with a metal coating to create an infinite array of beautiful colors and surface finishes. We offer three types of patinas: Universal Patinas, Traditional Patinas, and Vista Patinas. Each type of patina is available in a wide range of rich colors and may be mixed together with other patinas within its group to form different shades. The different types may be applied over each other or mottled around in areas to make the patina more interesting. Usual coverage is approximately 200 sq ft per gallon. All patinas are designed for indoor and outdoor use with the exception of Traditional Blue.
