Is it durable? Or can it scratch easy?

The shoulder bell looks great, and the wrist piece I see some orange peel to it, but it is a bottom piece so it is in good hands.

That's just the light in the room

I will take some pics outside in the light

It's really a perfect chrome...if you put this next to chrome you would not be able to tell them apart

Wow! These came out great.

Can't wait to see the rest!

Perhaps you've already answered that question, but I can't see a helmet or a backpack with your parts.

Will they be added later?

I see that medical grade air filtering system. It has one more stage than mine did. Did you use distilled water, or ionized water filtering system.

I do all my work at my friends shop...he just installed this system...don't really know much about it other than he said its designed to keep water out of the lines.


We are using distiller water in the cosmichrome process

Medical grade air is the only way to go when dealing with chroming. You would see so many minor mistakes you would hate life. Buying distilled water by the gallon or so that must be costing a lot of money. I would use about 50 gallons a run, but I had the filtering system off that tap.
Your finished items look great. Are they sealed yet?
