Re: Painting bare brass

[VR Bass]

Salty,

I have always blackened brass on my engines, so this is second-hand, but I 
understand that "tooth" is critical.  Someone suggested sand-blasting -- this 
cleans the brass (also very important) and gives it "tooth" (surface texture).  
Etching primer also works well, I'm told, even on copper.
