Hi,
I cleaned some chrome parts and galvanized steel spokes. They look really nice and shiny and I want to keep them that way, especially the galvanized spokes because they tarnish easily. What do you all think about spraying the metal with a clear coat (Rustoleum crystal clear enamel)? I plan on cleaning the metal part thoroughly with mineral spirits before spraying the clear coat. Will the clear enamel adhere to the bare metal even though there is no primer? Will the glossiness/shine be preserved?
Thanks!
(PS. I used NEVR DULL on the galvanized steel, amazing stuff! That is also the reason why I'm cleaning the metal with mineral spirits...to remove any of the residual NEVR DULL polishing material)
