I manufacture copper products, and sometimes I clear coat them. In the past I've had a local shop do the clear, but that's not an option anymore. I've done some painting over the years, and I'd like to clear coat these myself.
I weld these things up, and then polish them to a mirror finish, then wipe them down multiple times, and he shoots them. This is not a typical paint prep, as I can't do any scuffing of the copper, and even a normal cleaner will discolor and streak the copper. The copper must show a mirror reflection before it's clear coated.
I'm not sure what clear coat he was using, but I've had probably 50 of these out there for at least 5 years being used nearly every day and no complaints about the clear coming off.
I need a clear that can handle at least 250F degrees, higher would be better.
Any suggestions on what to use?
