Tips on aging my fender struts

[1937Zenith]

As you can see my front fender struts look too new for my bike. I’m keeping it a rat rod so does anybody have any tips on how to get my front struts looking similar to the rear?

Mix salt, hydrogen peroxide and water in a spray bottle. Spray on area and let dry. Practice on a spare pc of metal first. The more times you spray it, the more surface “ patina”.

I would lightly scuff them with a less abrasive scuff pad before spraying them with the ocean water.

Apple cider vinegar works fantastic.

The antique pewter metallic hammer tone is a somewhat darker shade of aluminum-silver and might give a look of having been repainted a longer time ago and having since aged?
I thought that rat meant that things did not have to match.
