How did you age the metal work? I've always found chrome a pain in the he arse to get looking aged rather than sanded

Scuff with a scotchbrite pad and/or wire wool then put in a tub and put that tub in a vinegar solution - it's the acetic acid vapour that ages it - you need to leave it for a good 8 hours with the lid on to let it do its magic.

I find that where you touch the chrome and leave sweat it corrodes more - takes some time but is effective
