I like the sound of it. Would be cool to find a stain-type finish to give the sheet metal some character. My main concerns are durability and making sure the product won’t off-gass when exposed to hot water.

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.
