. I used the copper under coat and the patina chemical on top. I also bought a light patina (green) craft paint and a black/green craft paint (they come in small bottles in craft stores and have all sorts of colors for around $1). I used the paint to deepen the shadow areas and highlight the high spots.
I used the chemicals and sealed the whole surface once I achieved the finish I wanted. Then after all dried and cured for about 24 hrs, I added the painted highlights and sealed again after dry.
The clock (sorry I can't find my 'before' pic) is resin and is battery operated. I found this marked down at TJMaxx. It is a gift for my sister and the existing finish was not going to fit in with her style and garden type items she had. I refinished this clock to make it fit in with her accessories and home.
