Clear coating copper

[Sauerkraut57]

I am looking for a product that you can use to clear coat copper for exterior use. I have tried clear lacquer and it chipped off very easily. I am polishing the copper to a high shine and would like it to stay that way for as long as possible.

I have read some articles on this, and the information that I am receiving is this is not that easy of a process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I had some copper tubing (plumbing) that I used as hanging flower pot support poles. I polished them (with steel wool and gave them a coating of shellac.
That was about a year ago, and they still look good. But again, that was only a year ago.
I will check with my Sherwin Williams technical specialist and let you know what he says.

I will give these ideas a try. I am using copper pipe as spindles for my deck.
