Thanks. After playing around with different values, I'm beginning to see
some differences between the two. If I get the copper metal looking the
same for the old and new methods, then switch just the pigment to silver or
brass, the old and new method no longer look the same. I guess I'll just
make five finishes going from dull to shiney.
