Alloy Patina down tubes, anyone?

Without getting into how I ordered a Silver dash/doors and instead got Patina... Oh wait- I said I wasn't goint to talk about that...

...but now, like everyone else, my dash, door and downtubes on the 06 MCS don't match! (see attached) I know colour matching the dash & down tubes occurs regularly, but, what about matching the Patina finish?

Anyone seen or had this done? Any suggestions on what kind of "Shop" to look into? (That is, would an auto-body shop know how to do "Patina" vs. the local University Art Dept?) Thanks.

FYI- I'm now satisfied w/ Patina.

A really good automotive air brush artist would probably be able to do something that would look good.
