did you lacquer your alclad2 chrome?

Looks interesting and potentially a lot cheaper than a company.

My order for Hydro Chrome will be arriving tomorrow so I will start prepping my armour, decided to do a test on one of the shoulder bells and a left forearm part, fingers crossed.

That is a type of finish that has a bluish tint to the luster. Over a slow period of time if will green out a bit because it is copper based. Fingerprints will be the first thing you will notice, and trying to rub them out turns into rubbing the finish off.

Not ten miles from me as well. I can't imagine it would be too dear since they have examples of chrim finishing the most frivolous things like PS3 controllers.
