we have stripped a metal door frame so that the metal of the frame is bare. what CLEAR coat material can i use that will not turn the metal yellow (as a shellac or laquer would). what product can i use that is NOT waterbased...which would cause the steel to rust?

Indoor or Outdoor?? KBS Coatings makes a RustSeal in "clear." It is a moisture-cured urethane that draws moisture out of the metal and atmosphere & dries to a rock hard nonporous finish to completely stop rust. The Clear is UV sensitive and may "yellow" in time but not to the extreme of shellac or lacquer would. "Clear" can be topcoated with any opaque paint system to avoid this... or perhaps just choose Grey RustSeal. Bottom Line: If stopping rust is the priority, you need RustSeal on the bare metal to block its pores and seal it from moisture & oxygen. The paint goes on in thin covering coats. An 8 oz. can will cover 12 sq.ft. with 2 coats.

What about Rustolium the can spray. You may have to lacquer your frame, or just keep a wire brush handy.
Good luck!
