About the Wizard
The background of most bronze plaques is painted to provide a pleasing contrast to the highlighted areas and may be painted with standard or optional (extra cost) finishes pictured below. Custom-matched (PMS) painted colors can also be provided. Additionally, natural chemical patinas and simulated painted patinas are available on bronze plaques.
The patina finishes are created by applying chemicals and heat to the bronze plaque surface. Once the desired color is achieved, the raised areas are highlighted and a clear protective coating is applied to inhibit further chemical reaction.
