The real move is to get the paint as perfect as possible, then "lock it in" with layers of protection that are added regularly.

Good luck with the restoration. It really needs it, lol.
It needs it bad. And I figured so as far as the 6-12 months time frame. 3-4 months sounds more realistic. Still, as you said, once I get the paint corrected properly, hopefully sealing will only be a task I'll be doing 3-4 times a year.
