Tom, think of it as a market differentiator! And charge a premium...
As a child I remember watching workmen repair a section of copper roofing on an old building. The "foreman" of the crew (or the boss) casually commented to me that the workers hurry along the process of turning all that shiny copper to a nice aged green verdigris with the help of their lunchtime beer... applied later in the afternoon. Of course, he used more direct language and I was quite entertained (at age 10).
