Hi, I have an antique safe from 1890 with a fair amount of scratches, rust and still some good decals and lettering on it. Instead of sandblasting and repainting it, I'd like to give it a nice coat of clear gloss from a spray can. This way it can be touched, dusted and there wont be any chance of the gold lettering being removed anymore.

I've seen acrylic and urethane? enamel gloss clear coats sold at Napa, etc....From what I see there were 2 types sold that we for use over paint. This safe will be stored in the house out of heat, sun and moisture, so durability shoudlnt be an issue.

Knowing that this is OLD paint and some light rust and scratches, what is the best to use?

Thanks!

First check to see what its value is as the clear coat will certainly depreciate it drastically. If its not too much then any good clear coat that is not Lacquer based should work try it on spot on the back and let it dry to make sure. You can spray paint over lacquer but not lacquer over paint unless you want Krinkle paint.

Value is $120....no body wants these old safes - they are too heavy...

How do I know if the spray has laquer in it?
Thanks!
