What is a Patina Metal Finish?
A patina is a natural or chemically induced film that forms on the surface of metals like bronze, copper, brass, and steel, resulting in unique coloration and texture. While traditional patinas develop over time due to oxidation, modern metal finishing experts like Galaxy Metal Coating in the UAE have perfected the art of accelerated patina applications, providing stunning, permanent finishes in various shades and patterns.
Patina finishes are prized for their:
-
Antique and vintage aesthetics
-
Unique, non-replicable character
-
Color richness – from verdigris greens to deep bronze browns
-
Texture – matte, satin, or glossy effects
