> Dear Ned,

> Don't know the show or size of your barn doors in question, but if they  
> are already being/have been built, Krylon spray paint has a full line of  
> metallic paints of every kind, including copper, gold, silver, etc. With  
> a coating of good metallic copper paint, an added sealant of clear spray  
> lacquer, varnish, or polyurethane over the copper paint will give a  
> realistic metallic sheen to your finished work. Just be aware that there  
> are many paint companies that supply these types of finishes. Go online  
> and start searching.

> Others on this NG will have good ideas about paints and treatments, so  
> consider their ideas as well. There are some very skilled artists and  
> scene shop technicians here who will have great suggestions for you.
