A study of imitation-bronze paints on American zinc sculpture reviews historical information on bronzing, presents analytical results for original paints sampled from zinc artifacts, and surveys outdoor statues repainted recently to imitate bronze. Guidance is provided for conservators who seek to apply historically appropriate replacement coatings.
