i suspect it was spayed on as it came off very easily...once i had determined that i wasn't going to try to save it as it was,i could actually scratch off the "bronze" with my fingernail,it was not metal plating...I'm pretty sure it was lacquer or maybe some other type of coating.but it was definitely not real bronze...the brasso reduced it too sludge and had it down to the bare brass in a matter of a few minutes...
as i mentioned near the beginning of this thread...the real deal can be done.I'm not sure of the quality of the results,but like most things these days...if you can dream it up,it's on the web...as i said I'm not sure of results one can get from these systems or of my due diligence in the polishing and cleanliness that's absolutely required for a decent result in ANY plating process...but it SEEMS easy enough.unless there turns out to be an easier way to replicate what was there...i may give it a whirl
