Dan, I have tried a few..plastic coat IMHO is too blue..dont like it. Details is decent, but a little shiny..VHT is also very close and I like it the best of the three..we'll see what other say.

If You are doig the big dollar restoration, you would leave things natural. I used the VHT Nu-Cast and it looks pretty decent. A lot of other stuff isn't even close.

Media blasting for a natural finish and coating in a satin clear is always first prerogative, but the rattle can is for areas that just need a protective finish. Thanks for the suggestions gents, much appreciated!
