Dulling corrugated galvanised sheets

I hope to use galvanised corrugated sheets as an internal wall lining. Is there any way to dull the brightness of new galvanising to give more of a matte weathered look?

Thanks,

A. Try using a spray bottle with common cheap vinegar ⇦in bulk on eBay or Amazon [affil links] which is acetic acid, a non regulated rather cheap and available acid.It may have to set overnight. Wash well with a hose.
