Have you tried "bronzing powders" from a paint supply? That is supposed to
be real metal.
Mohawk Finishing Prod. from Chicago Area sells it.

Used froggle.com and came up with www.epoxyproducts.com at $14 a pound (41
micron) additive to epoxy. Daniel Smith ( www.danielsmith.com ) a paint
pigment and Cole-Parmer industrial supply ( www.coleparmer.com )too.

I've found one source on eBay which sells powdered copper and
aluminum. Give 'em a write and see what they can do for you:

thanks. this is in the UK, which would make shipping be a lot. most places
i've contacted, including the ones previously mentioned, are really micas,
or copper colored other metals (like aluminium), or are paint pigments,
which are plastic encapsulated to prevent corrosion. about the only place
i've found elemental copper powder (outside of buying quantity in metric
tonnes) is at chemical supply houses for lots of $$$s.

You might want to ask about the shipping, the extra cost might be
acceptable. About the only other thing I can think of would be buying
"copper oxide" as is used for potterymakeing off of ebay, and
chemically stripping off the oxygen atoms. It is possible but might
involve some corrosive/dangerous chemicals. You could try posting that
question on sci.chemistry, they might be able to help.
