I finally found the schoolbell I wanted for my schoolhouse reproduction yesterday. Great! exactly what I wanted, love Craigslist.
My question is...... I want to sandblast it and paint it to look like aged brass. Its cast iron, not in bad shape, but a bit of rust starting. Will sandblasting affect the tone, or do I worry too much?
And, what is a good process to get the aged brass look with paint?
