had to watch the whole vid before i knew WTF you were after.....MODS vapes WTF am I ever out of touch.
anyways, in the old days they used to use horse piss....save some cash and run out to your local barn with a bottle
'Method 2: An old traditional method of colouring new brass or bronze was to immerse the item in warm urine, producing a fine aged appearance in ¬? to 1 hour. The reaction can be controlled to some extent by the temperature of the urine. Horse urine was commonly used, as their hay and oats diet produced a much greater ammonia content. After immersion wash in clean water. This is one of the best methods of producing a realistic patination of age on these metals, simple, controllable and effective'.
