if you were gonna have something copper plated it would ideally need to be lacquered after as it is not one of the hardest metals and as mentioned it turns a shitty green colour and after a while of weathering it will become powdery and eventually to the point where a thin coat would just start flaking off..
I have used more cans of copper paint than i can count, and also tested it out doors..its shit..no matter what brand or pigment you get after a few months it will be non existent..look for something else i wouldnt recommend it..not to mention the extra weight it will put on your bike...if your that fussed about it?
