[QUOTE="GypsyGoldAu, post: 309566, member: 5873"] Ok, so you are after a 'dark' patina, and not the Unc. rosey pink finish? If so, you need to re-activate the surface (it will have oils and such on it)..then let it sit and oxygenate...the 'age' look takes time.... I'd recommend the 'Armorall' de-greaser.....works best of any i have tried, especially on hyd. fluids and diesel.. It appears the SoL may work..perhaps try on an old 2c piece first if you don't trust it on PD's... There are some electro-chemical ways to do this, but i wouldn't advise it myself... Now, as to re-coating pit building....hmmm, who do i know who can do that?...hmmm ]:D :cool: GGA [/QUOTE]
