I hear what you are saying Lugi and I agree with you, however the first four of them are going to be outside in the elements close to the beach.The next set I do will be for the interior .I did however not paint or coat the cap so it will eventually start rusting ,giving it a more rustic look...no pun intended .I looked at one of the caps yesterday it is already starting to turn , just as I thought it would.
