Linseed oil when left long enough leaves a nice protective coating...I am finding the trick is to apply it in such a way that it leaves a smooth finish. It may be worth experimenting with thinning it out with turpentine, or applying it with different types of brushes.

I have coated my shield boss in it, and the dome part turned out well, but the flat part has a lot of irregularities to it.
