How do you prep and paint exterior copper?

Our issues are removing mill oil, whether or not to scruff up the 
surface, and what paints to use on new custom-fabricated copper gutters.

We're thinking of acetone and rags to remove the mill oil.

The Revere copper book recommends scuffing up the surface with sandpaper 
or an abrasive pad. and then quotes extensively from Benjamin Moore on 
products.


Take care, work safe and keep in touch.
