felixx Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Ok so I have a couple of items that are a bit rusty/ have patina. Thinking of preserving this finish and celebrating it. Clear coat in a spray can ok for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M M Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'd be spraying with a gun if you can. Spray can paints are very thin. 2k would be even better. If you want a glassy finish you'll have to layer it on pretty thick. I've seen it done with a rusted boot lid and it looked pretty cool. Will see if I can find a photo.

ThePog Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I once put beeswax on a gun blued bike frame, it has lasted surprisingly well. You can thin out the beeswax with white spirit and rub it on, 3-4 coats and it looks like shellac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
