Default Finish my Brass PR-24 Police Baton

Hello,

I have a brass PR-24 Police Baton that I would like to have permanently "anodized". I understand it is not possible to "anodize" brass, but I would like to shine it one more time, them maybe laquer it so it will look awesome for life. Anybody interested in taking on this job?

Here is a visual on the baton:

Not that I wouldn't like to earn your money but I don't know if you would be happy with a clear coat in the long term. Not very many clear coats do well on bare metal. Have you tried a good carnuba wax or better yet Zoop Seal. It's suppose to be good for two years in the weather.

We had recommended that he spray the part with VHT Clear Lacquer, which has given us excellent results over the years and was designed for brass and copper work.

Sorry, I wasn't familiar with the product or recommendation. If you still need someone to coat it for you just PM me.
