Re: leaving metal natural on parts
When i restore parts that are supposed to be just raw natural cast metal, i grab a clean rag and dip it into a small tin of dull clear coat.
Rubbing it in by hand gives the raw cleaned metal a nice protective coating without the mess or over spray. Lasts a long time too.
Even after years if any rust returns you can lightly sand the rust spot with a hand held sponge sander and re-apply the clear coat to make it look good again with a quick touch up.
