I have read the MR May and June '98 articles on painting brass which said to remove tarnish bathe in Vinegar and clean rest up with copper polish. My questions are: 1. If after I clean up I paint over any tarni***hat is left, what will happen? -- Has anyone experience in painting over tarnish? There is no pitting -- just looks bad. 2. Read articles about mixing engine black to come up with a "warmer" color and one that will not cover all the detail in a deep black but none using Scalecoat paint. Does anyone know a combination using Scalecoat that will achieve this. I use Scalecoat II for plastic. I know that regular Scalecoat is better for metal but is it OK to use Scalecoat II on brass? Thanks in advance. StuebsRR
