idk what to use to coat them that wont screw with how they look... and if i understand correctly... glass beading puts a coat of something on them so they dont tarnish

soda blasting will leave a coating on them that protects it.

I have a guy at work that saw your before and after pics and was wondering if you would like to do some work him he wants to know how much you charge.
