Hi Dan,

Don't know as this would be attainable, given the size, but a have a 
friend who had metal kitchen cabinets that had really poor paint 
coverage. We stripped and sanded them and coated with a clear spar 
varnish. They're going strong after 10 years. They don't have the water 
exposure yours would, but the effect was striking when done.
