Would it be advisable to apply a coating to the outside of these cans such as Rhinocoat or Line-X?

I don't think so, I received the cans and was very impressed by the quality. We lived in VA for a while, and it was very humid. No corrosion was noticed. If you are using them and they get chipped up, then I think a Rhinocoat would be a good solution, thanks for the idea.

I suppose you could apply a coating. I'm not sure the benefits would outweigh the costs, though. It would make the can just that much heavier. I'd imagine if you had to carry it any distance the coating would be abrasive against whatever body part it came in contact with.

Tape them off. But don't waist time an money on this. The end product looks nothing like the can. The closest I got was powder coating.

Possibly, but I would recommend silicone sealant/adhesive for a more secure, flexible, and weatherproof adhesion for your application. Once the silicone adhesive has completely cured (24 hours), it is totally safe and non-toxic to wildlife.

I used two coats (1 can) on an outdoor potting bench, which is on the sunny side of my house in AZ (very hot and sunny all summer). So far it's done well, no problems. And it's not really rated for outdoor use. I can't really answer your question because I didn't do what you're asking about, but I hope this helps.

Yes, but it is difficult to spread it evenly. Once coated, the object will have a satin finish. Buffing will bring out more luster. After I am satisfied with the results, I clear-coat it for protection. Hope this helps. By the way, I use this product alot in the restoration of old radios and phonographs.

The is not labeled for outdoor. I'd suspect the exterior coating would become brittle and break down under UV and weather exposure.

I haven't tried that, but I wouldn't think lacquer would last very long outdoors. I would try some kind of polyurethane, but I'd check the can to see if it sticks to copper. Sorry, only an opinion from a non-expert.

I used the Rust-Oleum Industrial Choice Anti-Slip aerosol on a plywood wheel chair ramp. It worked great! I still have a partiial can and the only information about surfaces is: Indoor/Outdoor concrete, metal, ceramic, and wood. Might want to check their website.

I use mine outdoors. I coated with a layer of "mineral oil". I live in Las Vegas, so we do not have severe winters. Hope that helps!

It's a spray paint, I didn't personally try it outside, but I see no reason it wouldn't work. I would consider a clear sealer to apply after the glow in the dark, just to be safe

I've had that happen with a couple of the shellacs if it's applied too thick. If it's not that bad, You would be surprised how much of that evens out once you put on the top coat.

I would definitely use prime, it would be more permanent. It is thick like tar shake really well. You wont need but 2 coats. Good luck!

There is an undercoat on Amazon made for application to bare metal and will ensure best result. Always wire brush or sand oxidized areas

The roof coating (Dicor) works great on seams by filling small gaps and cracks. I would do the Dicor first, followed by the Eternabond and a final coat over everything. Better safe than sorry as they say.

I painted 2 metal bird that I had outside & then sealed them with a spray epoxy once the painted cured a couple of days. I had no problems.

This mainly works by a glob inside the tube being forced into a hole by air pressure. Just coating the outside probably would not be effective - in doesn't laminate.

I have no idea but I would contact the manufacturer of both the roof and the coating before using.
