What is another word for patinaing?
Pronunciation: [pˈatɪnˌe͡ɪŋ] (IPA) 
Patinaing is the process of adding a worn, aged, or weathered finish to a surface. There are several synonyms for patinaing, including antiquing, distressing, aging, ebonizing, and oxidizing. Antiquing is perhaps the most common synonym and refers to the process of creating a vintage or retro appearance on a surface. Distressing is similar, but it involves intentionally creating cracks, scratches, or other marks to make an object look more weathered. Aging refers to the natural process of surfaces developing a patina over time. Ebonizing involves giving wood a dark, almost black, finish. And oxidizing creates a greenish-blue patina on metals such as copper or bronze. Nonetheless, whatever the term used, patinaing is ultimately about creating a beautiful and unique finish that is rich in character.
