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

Oh yeah, great work on the chroming!
Was it done by a company?

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...
