aging metal | Ask The Experts Forum | Metal Roofing Alliance

Guest User 2/25/2003	Hello, I was wondering if you know how to make a metal roof look aged. I am putting a metal roof in my basement as a ceiling and I really wanted it to look aged but, I cant seem to find out how to age it. Can you help? THANKS!

If you are wanting to take some agricultural sheets of steel that are galvanized, then you can etch them with acid to take the sheen off the metalic coating. If you want a oxidsed surface keep etching it and let the water at it.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/1680/find/

Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 6/16/2003	I do not have any good ideas on this. Keep in mind that the "aging" of steel is an ongoing process which, onbce started, is hard to stop. I personally would really encourage you to consider a painted surface which might still provide the look you are seeking.
