How did you treat the steel to achieve this color and how did you seal it to stop/minimize rusting? Thanks so much.

Hi- thanks for the question. These are copper panels that has been left exposed and un- treated. It took a year and a half for the panels to patina like this. When first installed, they were very shiny.
