Jay-gon's Brass Saber 26 (BS-26)

[dustunite]

whats the best to clear coat the brass with?

[Master Valon]

That's really a question for Jay to answer, or someone else with more experience than I with baking and painting sabers, sorry. (I've never painted or clear coated a saber before)

I use either Krylon or Rustoleum Clear Enamel, and then bake it at 250 for an hour.

I use either Krylon or Rustoleum Clear Enamel, and then bake it at 250 for an hour.

Basically what i do as well, except I bake it at 300 for two hours. The drawback to clear coating the polished brass though, is that it actually dulls the shine, so instead of a deep lustrous shine, you're left with a shine on the finish, but it's not the same.
