Copper Finial Refinishing Project
Through six layers of old paint I sanded, scraped and rotary wire-brushed this piece back to it's original sheen. I went through the light green to a gold to dark brown to dark green to white and gray. Underneath lay copper, brilliant, shiny, beautiful copper. I decided to keep some of the old paint on near the edges to show it's history and maintain its old look.

All complete!
