Finally achieved a result by smearing the hot egg yolk all over the case...I think the result looks pretty good!

William and Edward!!! Thanks guys!!!!thankyou.gif

I am so stoked on this Bronze...the initial "gold-like" look was fine (and doesn't necessarily look like a gold watch, but a little too much gold for me).

The deep patina is definitely what I'm after!!!wowzer.gif
