'Ageing' Stainless Steel

[f0xy]

Everyone knows how stainless steel goes bronze-ish colored over time with heat and being exposed, right?

Is there any way I can gain this 'finish' quickly, as im hating the shiny/clean finish of the stainless at the moment.

Gas torch to get it upto a high temp?! Anyone know how I can 'age' it quickly?

I imagine just heat it up yeh? Uve probably seen mine, its gone a right slaggy dark gold/bronze colour, and its done it alot faster since the bodies

foxy itl most probably give the burnt blueish color.

Give the car a good blast then keep spraying WD40 on it whilst its hot

Yeah, it will eventually go that way I guess due to heat (my center section did)...

The 2" pipe I originally had one was a used piece of pipe, so was dirty/bronze already, but the fresh 2.25" is horribly shiny, dosent look right...

I wonder if i blast it for a while with the gas torch it might make it change color, hmmmm
