Painted or repainted, steel or aluminum for project, just needs to be older style (not necasarily old I can make it look old).

Girlfriend bought me this one when I started my new job 6 months ago...

I've gotten an insane amount of compliments on it and it's durable as all hell

Nice! hell thats cheaper than a 20yr old rusty one on e-bay. Saw some cool old ratty ones on e-bay, maybe I could acid bath a new one otherwise.

i've seen something like that laying around my house i don't remember where i saw it but if i find it i'll let you know i know its probably ancient as it was probably one of my grand fathers.

I bet you that acid would age it wonderfully, probably even give you the patina your looking for...

may I ask what project this is for?
