It seems to me there's a paint medium that gives a frosty like look that could give cans a galvanized look, but I can't think of it right now. Have you search Plaid or other companies that make craft paints yet June? It I weren't ready to head to bed soon I'd search for you.

Yes, lightly spray bleach (use plastic bottle) and place in the sun. repeat until you get the effect desired. i also do this on NEW tin, etc containers i.e.flowerpots,watering cans to age them.

JUNE, FORGET to mention, you may want to lightly sand the surface first. hope this helps.

I've read that spraying the cans with a strong salt/water solution and then leaving them in the sun will speed up the aging process. You should spray them repeatedly until you get the look you want.

I remembered the product I was thinking of last night. Kylon brand Hammered Metal in silver looks allot like galvanized metal. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iI_xjOttjcs/THb-RhsyjQI/AAAAAAAAAK0/qHvcFZJusSI/s1600/DSC_0131.JPG
