    clear coat over rust?

     



    i was just reading a post where someone was suggesting clear coating over rust to preserve the patina.

    Can this be done? how long will it last?

    JMHO...... I'm not a fan of preserving petina on a car/truck/fill in the blank.

    I doubt it would last long. Look how long a full blown paint job lasts if ALL the rust is not removed?? Clear coat with no pigment and no primer under it would only degrade faster.

    I don't think you need to preserve it. It's just going to continue to gain more and more "patina", with or without clear.
