Copper claw foot tub
This is a plastic Chrysnbon Victorian tub. I first masked off the top and sprayed the bottom with Burnished Copper Metal by Rust-Oleum. I sprayed the inner portion of the tub and the sides with Krylon Gloss Ivory. I sanded the edge to remove any excess paint and roughed up the surface in a few areas. It's an old tub, after all. I used acrylic paint washes in black and robin's egg blue to darken and age the copper.
The feet were sprayed with flat black, but I added a black acrylic wash to them to tone down a little bit of the shine. I'll age the inside of tub later when I install the faucets but so far, I love it!
The copper color of the tub brings out the copper color in the flooring. I love how this little plastic tub looks like real metal.
