I've used lacquer before with good results, but I've wondered what is

that lacquer would discolor in that application. Anyone ever tried
lacquer on a brass lamp shade? Or know what is used?

Its easy to apply and easy to remove so why not just give it a shot.
Whats the worst that could happen?

Because I'm lazy ;-) Actually because the lamp in question is a
project that I haven't done anything on for a couple years and that is
just a question that has floated around in my mind about it. If
someone know the answer it save me having to experiment. If no on does
I'll try it and see what happens. We're probably only talking about a
25 or 40 watt bulb, so it's not all *that* hot.
