This old statue appears to be of a porous clay type of material and as you can see the weather has caused the old paint to flake off. It has been in the family for almost 50 years and until the past two years it spent it's time indoors. Now it's a garden decoration and it's obvious that wasn't such a good idea to leave it outside and unprotected.
1. If I get most of that loose paint off would this be an application for two coats of epoxy primer to seal it up so as to resist future moisture and weather damage?
2. If I go with the SPI white epoxy, I understand (if correct) that the sun will tend to change the color tint towards yellow ? Is that about the only downside or should I go ahead and plan on following up with a top coat of single stage for best protection and looks?
I know I'll probably have more in material cost than this young lady is worth but don't mind if it might protect and save her. However, if it's really going to be a lost cause I'd appreciate knowing so not to get frustrated after all of the work I'll have to put into it.
