Brass has been a popular finish since the nineteenth century. However, even with frequent polishing, unprotected brass will tarnish in time. Many different techniques have been developed to prevent this natural discoloration. A few of these techniques include Supercoat, Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), and lacquer coating. These techniques help protect the brass finish while relieving maintenance responsibilities.
