Aged Finishes
The radiator is assembled and pressure tested and then painted the base colour. Once dry is it over-painted the next colour. While wet, 2 coats of paint are removed in specific areas to create a stunning two tone look. This is particularly effective on ornate radiators to emphasize the pattern. Lead times are 14-21 working days.
Lacquered Aged Natural Brass
