What is a good rattle can paint for a copper roof? I am looking for a green copper roof color that looks like the Statue of Liberty green. I have several buildings to do and an not much of a painter. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

I looked years ago for something like that but couldn't find a suitable color. So, I mixed it up on my own and brushed it on instead. |

Rattle can no, but Reaper has a copper verdigris color you could thin and airbrush (if you have one) or just brush on thats pretty close with some weathering |

Weathered copper is never just a flat verdigris. You'll need to drybrush raised edges metallic brown. No spray cans of verdigris that I know of, Vallejo also make a verdigris |

If you do not mind the cost: And you really need it in a spray can.
Then you can get custom made color-matched paints in a spray can.

Everyone makes a verdigris these days. |

You could experiment with an appropriate green paint, followed by a matte Mod Podge coating, painted on, unevenly. This will leave a slight white covering. Just a from-the-hip, brainstormin' idea. You could follow on that with a black wash, as well, to really mix it up. Cheers! |

Looking at scrap copper pipe in the garage, the copper has tarnished to brown(ish), and the verdigris is more bluish than green. So, depending on environment, there will be a wide variation in colors, meaning whatever color you go with won't be wrong… ;-) |
