What could you put on some metal letters to protect them from acid rain?

Metals are usually protected from corrosion by encasing them in an impervious material or connecting them to a sacrificial anode which is more reactive metal which will corrode first. Some paints have such materials in them (such as zinc) which oxidize first.


How does an acid rain form?
