Default Re: Achieving a brass-like Finish?

How about anodising? I believe it's reasonably straightforward to do, at least as straightforward as anything involving caustic soda can be. The process creates a layer of oxide which you can dye. Presumably dyeing the oxide yellow would give a brassy finish. I've seen plenty of aluminum door furniture done that way.
