Can someone please advise on a clear coat for my steel sculpture?

Thanks Frosty. I dont do animals normally, I am a Kinetic sculptor.  I enjoyed doing something different though so might do another bird.  You are right about the music. I have done a lot of video so am conscious of the fact that no one likes too much volume..... me especially!

 

Cheers

Something else to try would be to hand buff the rust just enough with a rag to remove the orange, and leave the brown patina. After a few repeats it should have a good rust resistant patina built up.  Similar to how firearms used to be "blued" - rust and buff, rust and buff

I like your eagle. Just an off the cuff comment/suggestion for you. How about that dry silicone spray. Might do what you want without altering the rusty finish too bad, but you may also have a durability issue where it may require re-spraying periodically.
