A check I did on the subject indicated that etching the surface (per someone else's suggestion--Twybil?) was important.

My e-mail was scrunched up in cyberspace... I don't care too much for
painting metals but I've known copper to be painted and have it last a

and use of primers. This may be a case of nobody reading the instructions.
