Don't. Patina should be natural, not made.

Nope not possible. It is not something you can achieve without it looking tacky.

Weta Workshop may have something to offer.
But the $$ will be huge lol.

There are some very talanted painters out there (and here) who do airbrush work etc and could do want you want. Id imagine you would choose your desired colour of the "wear through" lay that down then paint the top colour you want. Laet it dry and then actually rub through it with 1500 or something. Then flat clear the lot. Or airbush the bits you want to look worn and flat clear over that. ANYTHING can be done these days.

Here's an idea. Get an old bonnet from a panelbeater. Clearcote it. While it's wet sprinkle(by hand) metal flakes from an angle grinder onto the wet coat.Leave it outside for a few weeks to corrode or spray it with acid from a squirty bottle. Then clearcote when you have the desired effect. Check-out youtube, there's heaps of tutorial videos. Nothing like a bit of experimentation.
