General

The background of most bronze plaques is painted to provide a pleasing contrast to the highlighted areas and may be painted with standard or optional (extra cost) finishes pictured below. Custom-matched (PMS) painted colors can also be provided. Additionally, natural chemical patinas and simulated painted patinas are available on bronze plaques.

Helpful Hints

• We can match virtually any painted color from a sample provided or from a numerical color matching system (for example, the Pantone Matching System).
  
• Colors may vary slightly from batch to batch. In addition, background colors will change over time due to exposure to light and the environment.
  
• Chemical patina finishes will vary from piece to piece, and uniform colors over large surface areas cannot be controlled. The color may vary from the pictured swatches and the color will change over time on bronze plaques installed outdoors.
