Bare metal treatments
I want to do some projects involving leaving metal bare. But, I do want to
heat it up to get some rainbow effects, as well as some other discoloration techniques to get various effects. Two questions ........ one, what can I use to discolor steel, both in chemicals and heating effects, and ...... two, what type of a clearcoat do I use to seal it against further rust or discoloration? I'll have to repaint probably every two to three years, as there is a sandblasting effect with local wind and sand. Coloring and patination effects appreciated. Share your secrets.
