Default Re: Chassis cleaning and protection ideas ?

I was thinking about applying a thin coat of varnish - but not sure if this would have any unintended consequences, apart from being difficult to remove if it didn't work out !

My thinking being that varnish would help keep corrosion at bay and it would look similar to cadium plating.

I could even give the other chassis a coat to make it match and maybe slow the corrosion on that side as well.

Luckily the shack here is indoors and fairly benign but doubtless overtime corrosion could still set it.

Edit Steve

I had though about stripping it down to a bare chassis and replate etc but decided against it as I doubt I have the patience or skill to make it look original again.
