How long do you think the media blasting finish would last before it would start to tarnish again without a clear coat? I ask cause I really like that clean look but if the "Bang for the Buck" isn't there (ie, starts to tarnish after a month or so) not sure if it would be worth the hassle.

i heard the "secret" is to apply a liberal amount of WD-40 to the case right after media blasting.....
