Aerosol lacquer from Home Depot will do a good job as long as the parts are
clean. Several thin coats are better than fewer heavy coats.

I dont have any fancy paints or even an air compressor for that matter,
but i dont want my sheetmetal projects to be so ... delicate i guess.
if i put machine swirls on a piece of sheet steel, is there any kind of
clear coat spray in a can that i can hit it with to give it a finish
thats less susceptible to tarnish as well as annoying fingerprints?
any brand names? home depot available? =)
