Brass bushings could be used, also. The different metals provide

yes will probably do a clear coat just to keep it smooth at least

Do that. Buff it up to as high a gloss as you can, then make sure any
buffing compound is completely wiped off. Shoot it with clear lacquer
(spray can is fine), but make sure the humidity is low. Lacquer does not
like high humidity - it blushes when the humidity is high. This is not just
a suggestion - this is a proven technique.
