not quite right. As copychrome is only one process you have to get the original piece 100% right. The copper in the triple plate acts as a filler and is much easier to buff and polish than other, harder metals.
Having worked breifly with copychrome I am seriously considering getting a copper kit next to make getting better results that much easier.

The main advantage of copychrome over chrome i can see is the much lower ampages and less concerns about the fumes given off.
