Does anyone know a way to age new galvanized corrugated tin. I tried muriatic acid but I didn't get the aged look I wanted..

Vinegar will change the Galvanised finish from bright & shiny to a duller more grey finish. It will also etch it somewhat providing "tooth" if you want to paint it later. Lay paper towel wetted with vinegar on the tin and let it sit, the longer it sits the more shine it will remove, rinse with water afterwards.
NB: Galvalume & Galvanised Tin are not the same and will react differently to different chemicals. Aluminium CAN interact with some chemicals resulting in toxic fumes which could be very hazardous so do be aware & cautious.

Personally I prefer the patina Mother Nature provides! Available in a light tint to heavy rust.
