Usually when I weather something and the metal accents start blending in, I'll make them pop again by highlighting them with rub-n-buff. It comes in copper - maybe that would work for you?
We've got a friend that does a lot of work with Sculpey to create faux ivory and jewelry. She recommends Rub-n-Buff, too. It didn't occur to me to apply it to actual metal parts, though--I always thought of it as something to give a metallic sheen to non-metallic items....
I put the final touches on the "big" project last night. I made custom needles for my gauges, two of them have major cheese factor, though, but *I* am amused by them. Right now, it is sitting out in the garage giving the stain time to dry. I doubt I'll be able to seal it before "showtime".
Considering the things I have to do this week, trying to tweak the props any further at this point isn't likely to happen. Lawn maintenance waits for no one, but can occasionally held up by the weather.
