In the course of mixing and experimenting with conductive paints for use in my copper plating and electroforming projects (copper plated wood), I mixed copper in with the graphite and ModPodge I was using, in an effort to up the conductivity of the paint. Once I'd coated the item, I sanded it, lightly, with 600 grit sand paper and noticed the dark, black, flat paint was transforming to a shiny, copper finish, like one you'd get after adding patina to bare copper.
On a whim, I painted a wood piece without using either primer or sealer and took it over to the buffer. In seconds, I had what looked exactly like a patinaed copper piece.
