Does anyone know of a paint I can purchase to achieve a rubbed oil bronze color on metal? I need a paint that can be applied using a brush, not a spray paint. Thank you.

What object are you wanting to have a rubbed oil bronze type finish?
I get the best results with a dark brown spray paint followed by a dusting of black spray paint. After it dries I apply copper gilding with a finger tip...just a bit along a hard edge or a broad open surface where it would naturally appear as a bronze piece weathers and ages.
Home Depot, Lowes, or Menard's should have metal paint in small cans.
arts and crafts stores sell this - one product you can get through Wal-Mart.com is called: vintaj
patina
it produces a copper or bronze look on any metal. Michael's also sells one that's similar.
Rustoleum spray paint. They have that color as well as all metal volors.
Thanks, but as stated in my "question" I'd really prefer a paint that is not spray!!!
