Hi Jan,

Thanks for the offer! Where are you located? I may have the wheel sprayed
near me so I can do the wet-sanding between coats.

It makes sense to use a automotive clearcoat because of the UV protection,
but does the wood need any sealer, or treatment before the clearcoat?

<<Tom,
        I know people have used varnish and polyurethane from the hardware
store, but I use the automotive clear coat urethane material. It dries
very fast, can be wet sanded/recoated a few times to fill the wood
pores. The result is a super gloss surface that will last the 30 years
that you require. I wouldn't use anything else. I can do this if you
send me the wheel.
