Carol A. Grissom has written about outdoor zinc sculptures and Knud Holm has examined a large number in Denmark...I wonder if it is worth contacting them to see if any were finished in the way you suggest...some of the Danish zinc sculptures had been covered with layers of green paint to resemble the natural patina of a bronze.....Mott (1875) contains references to zinc being prepared to imitate bronze, marble, brownstone, granite, polychromed wood, and plaster. reference J. L. Mott (Ironworks) 1875
