ZoSo_Spencer Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hi Ive been really into the look of worn metal parts like, for example a well played 70's les pauls hardware such an example can be seen at the link below Jimmy page's #1 Les paul http://www.themusiczoo.com/JPLP/playersview.jpg If you can see what i mean - the hardware has a faded, non-shiney old look about it. i know that some places exist where they custom wear out parts for you but i am wondering how to do it myself as it can only be a number of chemicals/sandpaper/elbow-grease so if there is anyone in here that has any tips about how to do this to metal hardware it would be greatly appreciated if you could share them.

Guest AlexVDL Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Ferric chloride... use a little and even chromed parts will get dull in a matter of seconds. Whipe it off and clean with water. If you don't whipe it off and let it sit for a day, then you can see the chloride is beginning to rust. Great for that relic look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
