Thanks for all the suggestions. It'll be a while before I've got anything to
report....

I made a bunch of test strips up on metal, and tried a
bunch of can-brands. I liked the Sheffield, best,
probably. But don't remember if I tried the Behlen.
For topcoating I have used "Deft" spray cans with good
results/minimal disturbance of the metal flake
beneath. But it can give you quite a  scare by turning
everyhting dull brown befor it fully dries and gets
nice looking again. Always experiment with anything
anyone recommends. Beware of the stuff that ( blech )
leaves a green cast!
