Do you shoot it with clear coat or anything after it is stripped??

Nope. I'm just going to leave it bare brass for now.

Looks great! (I've always been partial to "satin raw brass").
Somehow, it seems that dents are less obvious with that finish....

Re: Going to lacquer strip - any last minute advice?
Thanks roweenie. I agree. I feel pretty good with it as my first lacquer strip attempt. It was a LOT more physically involved than I originally thought. I thought the lacquer would disintegrate or something? But, after much hosing down and scrubbing I got just about all of it off. The satin finish wasn't exactly intentional 
, but it's a unique look and I like it.
