Seeking spray lacquer

I am trying to find a clear spray lacquer to finish a piece of brass which I have put a black patina on. I would prefer a satin or matte finish. The piece is to become a necklace pendant, so it will be worn against skin.

Hi, Amy. G.J. Nikolas [a finishing.com supporting advertiser] is a premier supplier of lacquers and can surely suggest a good one for this. Good luck.

Try baked (30 minutes/150 °C) 20% shellac solution (french polish).You can add some matting compound too. Hope it helps and good luck!
