    Stripped a steel frame, let it get a spot of surface rust then lacquered it, and it not looked gash?

    similar thing ( ish ).

    i wire brushed back a set of horse shoes to make as door number things for my grandparents. I then immediately varnished straight onto the steel. They looked great and shiny initially, but even still, the rust spots appeared on the steel, and then slowly leaked into the varnish and turned it a yellowy colour.

    They still look good, but i dont know how varnish would compare to lacquer, and whether the rust would still penetrate through the coating discolouring it.

    if you really really want that look, the only place i’ve seen it is here on a motorbike: looks great in the pictures.
