Here's an interesting thought that's way out of the box...
What about using some of the products meant for bluing firearms such as Cerakote? Assuming it will bond to the metal, bluing the mask's frame may help harden the finish and prevent the cracking or flaking. And "bluing" does not mean turning it blue - you can also choose colors like armor black, graphite black, etc.
I don't know if this would work. I've never tried it. If someone's willing to give it a shot, let me know. It'd only cost about $20 or so. Try it on an old mask and then bang on it with a hammer or something...

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Reason: I typed "harden the metal," but that's not what I meant
