<p>[QUOTE="ScottB, post: 4467556, member: 76592"]I can find no helpful info about this on the internet - I have a 1940s metal olive green cabinet (Lyon) with great patina, no rust, and a flat / matte painted surface (probably matte from age). I would like to keep the patina and clearcoat with a gloss finish, for indoor use - I’ve done similar projects but much smaller and used spray gloss enamel, and it has worked out great, but this being a fairly big piece with large flat surfaces, spray is probably not a good choice. I was thinking rolling enamel with a foam roller - any ideas would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
