That is very sharp looking. Now the hard part. Getting your finger prints all over it.....don't forget the cloth gloves.

So long story ......as you all know I tried like heck to do the cosmichrome thing....I was finally able to get a few pieces done and they turned out really good...the problem was that the process was taking forever and I still had several parts that came out bad....so I turned to Sacramento Chrome and Paint..they did my entire suit...I asked for the "perfect finish". This required sanding to a 5000 grit....I paid $2800 to get it all done.....seemed really high...but after all the problems I had I decided to go ahead and get it done...they use the cosmichrome process and it turned out really good.

I will post pics of everything on my mannequin in the next few weeks

Good work... can't wait to see more!

Your undersuit also has a very familiar look to me if you know what I mean... :wink:
