Mural Painting on Copper, exterior exposure

+++++

I am considering using copper sheets to paint a 10' x 24' mural for a public art project. It will be on the side of a building exposed to the elements and a lot of sunlight. Does anyone have any recomendations for treating the copper before and after painting? How long should I expect the quality of this work to last before deterioration starts to occur?

Go to the search engine available from the home page of this site and type "painting on copper". You will get some information and a vendor contact.
