| There are epoxy type finishes that will prevent copper tarnishing for a long time, but they are not generally available. Lacquer will provide a reasonable level of protections. The copper must be clean and completely degreased before spraying on lacquer. Deft spray lacquer is pretty available. Look for full gloss for metal work. |
