We recommend renaissance wax for protecting all our raw metal products in mild to moderately corrosive environments. Simply wipe it on with a cloth (it only takes a very thin layer). In 15 minutes it will cure into a invisible, hard protective layer. This wax was designed by UK museums to protect many of their items. It is the gold standard of this type of product and worth every penny compared to others. Finally, this wax is known to enhance the color, luster and other visual aspects of the item. Some level of corrosion may still be experienced.

Corrosion can be mitigated to varying degrees with primer, paint, Penetrol, Permalac, powder coat, etc.. However, raw steel is a viable option indoors and out. In dry climates it takes a very very long time for steel to rust to a point where the structure begins to fail (potentially 100+ years). The rate of corrosion is likely only a concern if the item is used raw outdoors in very humid and/or salty coastal environments. In mildly humid environments, rust still takes quite a while to cause structural failure, and low effort coatings can extend this significantly. Further coatings of interest include Rustoleum spray paints, cold galv spray, and rust converter.

Another great option is to use a two part can of spray paint, or even any spray paint (clear with no primer is an acceptable option, but you should use a paint that is designed for direct to metal application). This allows you to always have a can around, and if it is scratched you can sand it and fix it. Additionally, when the paint eventually needs to be redone, after however many years, it is very easy to quickly sand it and respray it. See less
