I am liking the sound of that leaf... And just a light spray of clear coat... I know it tends to go off color later... That is what someone has done to all the chrome parts on justified,and it is a pain to get off.
I woke up and read Tranny & Mutation.
I know,I know more coffee...
Ok @Duchess you see where I'm going, but without seeing it. I'm not leafing all of the tubes. Just on the ends by the sockets, mottled copper and gold. A faux patina that never existed before. Will it need some clear coating? Maybe probably. A friend of mine sprayed clear coat so thick, over a bare metal build he did, that it looks like it was dipped. But I'm thinking more like just a bit floated on over the leaf. So like I said before it isn't just on the frame either. I believe I can blend parts new and old with this "anti-patina" technique. Now I'm even more anxious for the frame to arrive.

I doubt linseed oil is the finish I'm after. I'm polishing it to a shine first, then the leafing... like a gilded picture frame. But between the gold and the copper, I'm hoping to create a patina that has never existed before. Worst case scenario I wipe it all off and have a polished frame.Like the idea about the leafing. I wonder how boiled linseed oil would work over it?
