Clear coat over copper.
Just wondering....What do you use to clear coat copper leaf ( specially put to the guys here in the UK)
I want to use some varigated copper on my shop vehicle but hav'nt got the kit to spray 2 pack.- something brushable- I can pencil varnish around with would be best.
Thanks
