Something like bead blasting so I've read. Or maybe just key it and recoat if that's your intention?

Thats what i read too, was kind of the hoping the apes would have a miracle cure lol.

Its brass and plan on a deep patina but with a matt clear coat, polished top and bottom caps.

Fyi i didn't choose the colour - or the mod for that matter. A FT freebue somehow

Cheers

Could you maybe give it a light skimming with a mule skinner?

Will have to have a google on that one.


Other thoughts are fire, or more to the point - wondering if i can burn it off. More googling required methinks.

Acid

The etched surface will also provide a good base for the patina.

A mule skinner is a rotary wire brush that's impregnated with a resin to stop the bits of wire flying everywhere,panel beaters use them

From what I've been reading it's either caustic chemicals or bead blast, don't know is soda or walnut medium blasting is strong enough to do it although those would be what I'd prefer to us for something like this.

God. That is ugly.
If you can't get the colour off perhaps you could poke your eyes out.

oldhippydude i always love how you are so reserved about these things lol

Tell you what though it gets some use - maybe its because i care so little about it.
