How to age sheet metal.

Use steel wool again to rub the toilet cleaner everywhere. Squirt clorox toilet cleaner all over the metal. I want to put sheet 45 x10 of galvanized metal on my farmhouse bathroom wall and the 12 above the shower wall. The longer it sits the more aged the piece will look.

Do you have a suggestion how i should spread the cleaner around on it to get a nice somewhat aged rusty look. Place lathered bucket outside or in a well ventilated area for 2 4 hours or until dry. To age galvanized metal start by sanding it with 80 grit sandpaper until it no longer looks shiny and slick. While wearing gloves lightly sand the entire piece of metal with steel wool.

Have you ever wondered how to age metal. The best part is you probably already have all. Guess i should take it off one of the barns but i want the flat sheet look not bumpy. Let the metal sit for 24 hours covered in toilet cleaner and steel wool.

Use a wet towel or rag to. Place an old towel in a large plastic bin then simply pour vinegar on the towel until its soaked.
