Stainless Black on Metal Coating
zhlédnutí 188Před 12 hodinami
In this video we use the Traditional Stainless Black on some Metal Coatings. While this process does bend some of the rules established in other videos, the finish turns out nice. Typically, Stainless Black is used on stainless steel only. We also normally only recommend doing patinas on wet Metal Coatings rather than on a dry surface.

Oli Rubbed Bronze Finish on Non Metallic Surfaces
I have a flower sculpture that Im working on made out of cold rolled steel. It's clean and polished. Can I use the green patina directly on the steel to color the stem and leaves?
Or Verde, I mean
The Verde Patina Stain will work on steel just fine. The Traditional Green Patinas will not work on steel just to clarify.
Can Scenic Artists use this for Set weathering?
The Blackened Copper (Bath) is for a chemical reaction on bronze, brass and copper. If that is what you are trying to weather then sure.
@@sculptnouveau No, they are a little costly for our Purchaser/Buyer in our Art Department for Production Design, Set Construction, Scenic Painting and other Departments. But Thank you for responding.
How would this hold up in a cafe setting? I am looking to redo our stainless countertops and they need to be able to hold up to a lot of abuse.
Black Magic wont work on stainless steel. You would be better off using the Stainless Black patina with the Ever Clear over it for protection.
does this work with copper?
Japanese Brown does not work with copper. This technique would work on copper with some patinas such as Tiffany Green. Just depends on the desired effect.
How is this product for working on stainless guns? Usually after a bluing process you then buff or use a fine wire brush to remove upper layers of the corrosion cam the same process be used for this??
It will work on all stainless steels, even firearms. Give us a call and we can talk more in detail.
How long is the shelf life
Evaporation and contamination are the biggest factors to keep in mind for shelf life. Indefinite other than those two factors.
Question: what if I already have a black surface to start with? Can I skip to the part where I add the brush strokes?
It might work. You would have to sand it to get some of the stainless to show through in order for it to turn out looking brassy. Like we did in the video when we burnished off the Stainless Black patina.
is there a chemical to patina green the surface of aluminum like that of rusted copper finish
Unfortunately aluminum doesn't turn green. You will need to do a faux finish like the Universal or Dye Oxide Patinas. You could also look at the Metal Coating option.
Is there a way for me to do this inside on a kitchen fridge? It looks like you used a lot of water. How can I do this without making the kitchen a pool?
Yes people have done fridge and dishwasher doors. Depending on the doors, taking them off would be the easiest way but they often make them with features that make that more difficult or impossible now. You can rinse it with a 5 gallon bucket and a big sponge, that is how it would be done in place. Tarp off just in case to catch some runs too!
hi I used dark brown patina on brass.. After I did lacquer on it .. the patina started getting lighter in colour just like how water evaporates.. can you help me ?
We will need more details than were provided but yes, give us a call and we can sort it out 760 432 8242
Hi, I'm very interested in this. Looking to do a couple 8"dia x 12' galvanized steel gate posts. I keep reading below to coat it to make it last longer. What happens if you don't add a protective coating? Will the patina just wash away eventually? How long will it last outside in the weather? And, can I just re-spray if it does wash away eventually? Thank you in advance.
The patina wont wash away but it will change on its own depending on the environment that you are in.
Will this work on a galvanized metal?
Not in the same way as the video. If you want black on galvanized take a look at Antiquing or Zinc Grey instead.
Does this reduce the metals resistance to rusting? Can you apply a clear coating of some kind to protect against weather?
We do suggest using a clear coat to protect against weather. Its still stainless steel, so without a clear coat it will still form that faint dusty oxide over time.
The midnight black I got is brown fluid and not blue like in the video, has the product changed?
It has not changed, and it is perfectly normal. It stains the bottle but it is fine to use and does not alter the results any.
Ummm, why do you want your aluminum blackened? What is the purpose of this? Malfunction.....Malfunction
The purpose is that people like blackened metal. If someone is making something out of aluminum and wants it black, this product will do it. Its a very popular request actually.
@@sculptnouveau ok, thx. I manufacturer awnings and we weld frames from aluminum. Never heard of blackening.... We do alot of powder coating....
@@AwninGod This would be an alternative to powder coating. Typically you would use something like Blackened Aluminum and then use the Ever Clear over it so it looks more appealing than powder coated aluminum.
Isn't this just oxidizing the surface, what most would seek to remove from the surface of raw aluminum as opposed to anodizing?
Yes, we are forcing it to oxidize black. It just depends what you want, anodizing gives aluminum a completely different finish/look.
Another factor here that I don’t think was mentioned but is always important in determining the reaction time: temperature, temperature, temperature. 85F in workshop on a hot summer day is very different than 65F in a workshop on a cool winter day.
Absolutely!
Would this finish be considered safe for a bird bath or is it a chemical coating?
It is a chemical reaction, much like copper would turn naturally but by using a patina, we force it into a specific color. You would need to use a good clear coat to ensure longevity if that is the route you want to go.
How long does the clear guard last before gives up as a protector
Really just depends on what it is exposed to. If you are worried about it though it may be worth while upgrading to the Ever Clear.
I generally use wax on black steel because I can put it on the steel whilst it’s slightly damp. If I let it fully dry rust forms so I’ve never used a spray. I would love to be able to seal the finish in as I find waxed finished can tend to rust after awhile or go slightly orange. Can your spray be applied on damp steel? I make large pieces of furniture so it’s difficult to dry and then immediately coat. Thanks
No you cannot use the Clear Guard over damp steel, that will cause rust and poor clear coat adhesion. Take a look at the Sculpt Nouveau Metal Oil. You can put that on, then seal it with Clear Guard or Ever Clear 3-4 days later.
Ok that sounds great, I’ll order some and give it a go.
How does this compare to Black Magic?
Good question. This one is concentrated so coverage goes further. At higher concentration, it will go black like Black Magic but at low concentration that blue comes out unlike Black Magic.
@sculptnouveau Oh ok. Is one better than the other as far as flash rusting after final rinse?
@@_GrindByDesign Typically Black Magic prevents flash rusting better.
do you have a step for the larger piece with products youre using? thank you!!!
Not sure I understand the question, give us a call and we can help you out: 760 432 8242
Will this work in iron?
Yes it will work on iron. It will look similar to how it looked in the video on steel.
Can I use this on top of rust/patina that has already formed on an iron piece? Or will it destroy it. I just want to spot-cover some areas that haven’t aged as well but thinking of giving the whole thing a coat
It would likely darken the existing rust finish but there are a few variables we would need to know before answering this question properly, give us a call and we can help you out 760 432 8242
According to the manufacturer they do not put any kind of sealer on this sink. I have one and called them about areas where the patina came off.
Even easier prep then. Just clean with soap and water, then re-patina. Seal it this time to keep it looking the way you want longer.
The green patina on his substrate is so perfect though….. !😂😂😂
Could you do this with jewelry? I'd like to age a stainless steel mecklace
We supply many jewelers
this video is amazing and very unnderrated thanks for sharing, really inspiring.
What ingredients are in the spray?
All of our SDS's are on our website
How would that process look over cold rolled steel? 🙏
Basically the same finish on cold rolled steel!
have you tried to apply this to a dried or wet copper metal coating piece?
Yes we have, the Torch patina does not work over the Metal Coating unfortunately.
Where do you get your sprays
All products used in this video can be found here: sculptnouveau.com/
For the slate black patina on bronze, brass, or copper can I buff it off in areas I don’t want the black?
Yes
Can i apply this product and then buff all the areas i don't want dark so they become light again?
Yes
What about a stainless steel gun slide ? I'd really just like to touch up a spot where the cerakote wore off. Recommendations ?
You should be able to touch it with the Stainless Black. Apply lightly with a Q-tip and wipe off with a wet rag 30-60 seconds later. Dry with paper towels and reapply as needed to darken it more. Once happy, I would just oil it like usual.

This is great! I wonder if anyone puts lead inserts into their print to give it the heft of a bronze casting?
Interesting idea. I have weighed some items down with washers on the bottom or embedded magnets into it so I wouldn't be surprised.
Do you need heat for this, or do you think it would work with say paint that has steel in it like Golden’s Iridescent Stainless Steel?
No heat is needed for this process. I am not familiar with that product unfortunately.
@@sculptnouveau no worries, ok thanks!
Can this be done on aluminum?
Unfortunately no this process does not work on aluminum.
Does this work with your line of brush on copper metal coatings too or just pure and plated copper?
Unfortunately no the Torch Patina does not work on the Metal Coatings.
Does this work with a chrome finish iron?
Unfortunately no it doesn't not work on Chrome.
Hello, I was wondering if this be used to protect a polished finish on aluminum?
It is a good option but it really depends on how polished the piece is. Try a small area at first to see how well it grabs on.
@@sculptnouveau thanks for the answer! Do you have any other product specialized for aluminum?
That is a very broad question. Give us a call and we can answer better over the phone 760 432 8242
Nice upload after so long, pls do more examples of all types of patina effects on real brass metal if possible.
Thank you. We will try to do more brass in the future!
Do you have a process to create a mill scale effect? I have pieces that are made from steel and after welding and grinding, I obviously lose that great factory dark black steel mill scale color. I'd like to be able to return that great mill scale finish look and hide the super shiny steel finish in the areas that have been grinded.
Take a look at this video and it should get you close: czcams.com/video/O1DV9pawKWs/video.html Many times I would actually recommend diluting it with distilled water to get closer to the hot rolled color though.
I have a stainless steel putter that I would like to get a deep brown finish on (I’m a complete novice) if I paid you - would you patina it for me?
Unfortunately we do not do any of the work here but we can help you find someone to help out or we can help you to achieve your desired finish. Give us a call and we can walk you through it. 760 432 8242
hey do you know anyone who can do this in india ? @@sculptnouveau
Check with our distributor in India, they might: Amjay Exports
@@sculptnouveau okay
Around 2015 I made a picture frame using oak 2x4s and after this treatement it looked like it weighed 400 pounds. It was a 30x36 large frame and during the photography contest I saw people with their fingers stuck out just wanting to touch the frame but knowing it was poor etiquette to do so. I thought the frame was a great compliment to my 1901 water tower photo with a lightning strike behind it. I easily won that contest thanks to this video demonstrating the technique. Of course I used the Sculpt Nouveau product to complete it. I tried the silver paint but ended up removing it because it looked fake to me. I had good luck waiting for a rainy day and doing the rust activator in the garage with the door open. Very humid and took forever to dry. So pretty much 100% rust on the frame.
Does metal coating make the bones any stronger? Like more drop/impact proof?
Unfortunately no it would not add that kind of strength.
This work with stainless steel?
No but if you want to blacken stainless steel take a look at our Stainless Black video. So it is possible, but this is not the video to show you how to blacken stainless steel.
Can you layer these patinas?
Yes but you need to go slow. Typically I will wait a minimum of 24 hours between layers of green and blue patinas. Too much patina and it can start to delaminate.
Can I do this to a stainless steel refrigerator?
Sure!
