I'm restoring a visible gas pump. The are several brass parts I want to put a clear coat on so they don't tarnish. I also want to clear coat the aluminum gallon markers. Is the can of clear coat in the picture alright for this? It says it can be applied to bare metal.
My primer question has to deal with the sheet metal. After I apply a few coats of self-etching primer (lightly sanding between coats), how long should I wait before I apply the coats of white paint?
I believe the instructions suggest that there be a primer coat applied between the etching coat and the final coat, but I was told that I could skip that coat, thus saving money and time.
