I tried to search for this topic as I would be surprised no one brought it up but I'm curious if anyone has an opinion on the best method to coat a euro for hanging outside on my shop? I've been thinking a clear water based urethane? Anyone coated a euro hung outside and had success with keeping it somewhat protected from the sun and weather?

Thanks

A lot of euro skulls from top taxidermists are air brushed. I don’t see how an automotive or equipment paint wouldn’t work great on the skull, but keeping antlers antler color is a hard one. I can’t ever recall seeing exterior antlers with the natural brown preserved - they all seem to eventually get painted.
