You know, I see all these suggestions in books and on-line for different finishes for ironwork. However, they're all things that need to be re-applied and, therefore, not for outdoor use.

I know you can primer and paint or powdercoat, etc. for outdoor work. But, I want to know what can be used to finish metal for outdoor use, but still preserve the look of the metal itself without covering it up?
