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.
