Traditional methods are problematic & expensive.
Current methods in the market today are acids and chemical mixtures. They create one of two outcomes, living finishes or faux painted finishes. Most are caustic and include solvents that are harmful to the environment and the applicator.
Here are some other limitations:
- Aqueous solutions, such as anodizing, are fallible if done improperly and reflect older production methods.
- These traditional methods can be slow due to dry times between coats.
- Clean-up is messy and may require extra floor space or ventilation during the curing process.
- Countries are limiting large-scale production.
Examples of aged copper, aging copper & failed paint methods
Today’s applications are toxic, messy & expensive
Due to restrictions and laws forbidding the use of such products, it puts downward pressure on the future of artistic finish methods, while demand continues to grow.
Additionally, dye-sublimation is an expensive alternative but its uses are limited when it comes to small part production & custom fabrications.
Tired of waiting for the paint to dry? Me too.
As a +20 yr. veteran of painting & restoration, I was inspired to create a new twist on achieving a realistic patina copper effect to metal in a non-traditional way.
Why?
Today’s liquid painted, naturally occurring or induced living finishes lend themselves to surface decay & inefficiency.
Our powder effects create a consistently layered finish needed to accomplish any size job. These powder coated performance finishes are better and faster to produce than traditional liquid faux applications.
That’s something faux painters just can’t do!

Collaborating with one of Hawaii’s top fabricators inspired Ross Scott, owner of Maui Powder Works, to create this innovated powder effect to ignite a new genre of architectural faux finishes.
