It'll just get all rusty and shitty if you do that.

I'd at least throw on a coat or two of clear coat.

That's why the original is nice and thick. Oxidized and still strong.

The original is also made of a weathering steel like corten, so it rusts and then stops rusting. The thickness doesn't matter so much as stopping flexing breaking the outer layer and exposing fresh steel.

The original is made from much thinner stuff than this. This is 1/8".

It only looks thick because it has flaps at the edges.
