designing a hood vent

I'll be keeping an eye on it to see if the clear coat will prevent rust at all. The more I read, the more unsure I am... Some people say it'll work as long as you prep the surface well, while others, including professional painters, say it's impossible to keep rust lines from developing under the clear.
I didn't realize until yesterday that you could paint over Gibbs Brand oil. I should have ordered a can of that to put on first as a metal treatment and second layer of rust protection.

Well shoot, the brushed metal experiment may be short lived. Some rust blooms developed overnight. Oddly, they rub off the surface, rather than being under the clear coat, so either something got on the hood that rusted or, more likely, the clear didn't hold up to buffing in spots and the surface is the bare metal. At least the vent is working great.
