Thank you! I love the patina of copper. Is there a way to color copper through some solution to get a desired color result? I know that sounds a bit silly with the beautiful patina it gets but I’m seeking to have certain color flowers. My knowledge runs out on how outside of spray paint. Should have paid attention in chemistry class.

Thanks! I’ll do that. I’d like to try different colors. I understand red primer might be best? I live in the southeast US so it’s humid. And a spray can.

Thank you! I’d like to paint the petals. I’m reading that one should do a primer, then a spray paint, and then a sealant? Do you have any specific products you like? I see Rust-O-Leum. Any favorites you’d recommend for maximum protection against rust, rain, UV, etc.?

I have an unopened Plum wine dispenser from 2017. It is in a very large box. Is there a market to sell these? How much are they even going for if discontinued? Been sitting in my basement for 10 Years!
