All sorts of looks that you could end up with, I’d consider letting it oxidize and then clear coating it.

I was thinking of pressure washing it but I’ve got so much done anlready and I don’t think that will leave it free from surface rust, might just make it worse.

Clear coat idea is interesting. The glass is an orange red that matches what looks like the original paint. I was maybe thinking just go black so there’s good contrast from the metalwork.
