    This is sort of a long shot, but it works on steel, so it might work
    for other metals? A welding instructor of mine recommended using
    clear engine coat laquer to preserve blues and gold on torched
    steel. I only used it on two small pieces, and it worked
    terrifically...actually enhanced the color a little. At $5 a can,
    it's probably worth a try? Good luck!
