Vista Patinas

Vista patinas are a two part patina combined in one solution. First, a traditional base patina reacts with the metal to produce a beautiful green on bronze, brass, and copper, or an exquisite rust on iron and steel. Then, colored oxides are added to this base resulting in a unique marbled patina.

There is one exception in the Vista Patina category, and that is the Vista Green. We now make two formulas for this color:  one for non-ferrous metals (bronze, brass, and copper) and the other for ferrous metals (iron & steel).  Please make a note of this when ordering.

Below: Roy Butler of Plantation, Florida creates beautiful patinas on his copper gates. In this example he first used Vista Green as a base patina (the darker green leaf color).  He then applied Universal Patinas as well as Water Base Dye Oxide Patinas over the Vista Green to add color variations. The lighter green leaf color was done with the Traditional Mint Green Patina.
