Uhh, just try some artwork... Dripping spots of brown paint, little scratches, etc. Also, try to get some rust I guess? I saw this build before, it look pretty nice.
It was like a Bioshock build. I forgot where it was though.

Go to a craft store and get some flat acrylic brown and rust color paint and some sponges. You can get the rusted look by layering different colored paints. A hobby store should have the paints too but I don't think you would need spray paint unless you wanted a certain color base coat. Just my mang.

I think I have found your easiest solution.

Or maybe this for the oxidized bronze look:

Now that you post that, I do remember seeing it in a hobby store this way a few months ago, and thought to myself "that might be useful" lol. Thanks for reminding me.

Ok, so unless anyone has anything else I think I'm going to grab some of the rustoleum stuff and try it, and/or the paint from Bill (Owens) copper case link. Then if not those, the acid manyak linked.

You guys are the bomb, I knew someone here would know. Thanks again guys.
