Comment on Can I preserve this binder clip?

So, you’re saying that OP, asking for advice on a simple clear coat, should just wing it and try to color match then paint the rubbed off copper themselves?
Cool. Great advice.

No, I said no such thing. Quit putting words in my mouth.
What I said – the only thing I said – was disagreeing with your rationalizing of the wear as somehow a good thing.
