If you want to do a little cheating, go to the $ store and buy some new galvanized buckets and age it yourself! There are several ways you can master this. 1. Use Lysol complete clean toilet bowl cleaner. Make sure yo do this outside as fumes can affect you. Let it sit till the desired colour/surface is accomplished. 2. Put a 50/50 mix of water & white vinegar, with a Tbsp of salt, in a spray bottle. Spray the metal and scrub it with a brush or steel wool. The fumes are very strong as it interacts with the zinc coating on the metal, so do this outside. Let it sit outside for a couple hours, spraying it a couple more times. Sunlight is even better. If you want to hurry things along, you can add bleach to the mixture. MAKE sure this is done outside as these fumes are toxic. Keep away from pets and children. Leave outside until your desired patina is reached. If you leave your bucket outside it will continue to age beautifully.
