Aqua Verdigris

Produce beautiful Old World verdigris patinas every time with our Verdigris kits. We've prepared the color scheme for you, but you control the tonal qualities. For interior and exterior and may be used over any surface. Each kit comes with either one quart of Copper or Bronze SetCoat® basecoat and three 8oz verdi colors.

Aqua Verdigris Products produce a durable, natural looking, oxidized metal finish over wood, plastic, iron, etc. Aqua Verdigris materials are a complete system of base coat and color materials designed to oxidize and turn chalky as the different color formulations dry out. Aqua Verdigris is available in two base coat metallic acrylic color choices of copper or bronze. Aqua Verdigris base coat material is allowed to dry. Then both Dark-Green and Blue-Green Verde material is applied at random over the entire surface using a brush, sponge, cheesecloth or spray. The colors may be thinned with water up to 40% base upon the desired appearance. These colors are allowed to dry. Aqua Verdigris system then calls for the application of light green Verdi material which may be thinned up to 40% water and 40% white FauxCreme® Color over entire piece. Aqua Verdigris is quite color fast, but extreme UV sun rays may further oxidize the color. This generally has little effect on the overall finish because it is what happens in the natural oxidization of copper and bronze. Aqua Verdigris system may be top coated with dull AquaThane to protect against UV, but this material should be almost dry misted on to prevent any possible color change. (optional)

Aqua Verdigris colors also available separately in 8oz bottles.
