Hi groopsters,

We have in our shop many pieces of 112 year old ceiling tin that
will be incorporated in a new home which is very high end.  The
customer wants them stripped.  She intends to paint them with a
metallic bronze color- not spray paint, and then glaze with a
chocolate color.  Does anyone have ideas on how to do this?

The tin will be an 11 foot square area on the ceiling, then it will be
surrouned by boards and the same tin wainscotting will be at the
edges of the ceiling.  (The wainscotting is not in the photo).  I think
eventually we will be doing the finishing work as this will be beyond
her capabilities, so I want to have a plan.

Also, they had to purchase an entire lot of the tin and have extra.
If anyone is interested, I can give you the contact information.

Thanks,

Sally/ RJS
