Default Re: What are the differences between Copy Chrome and full blown show chrome?

Copy Chrome is a bit darker than real Chrome, as in real Chrome is "whiter".

Down side to copy chrome is it will mildly tarnsh over time just like nickel (well it really is just bright nickel with cobaly in it to make it more blue), especially if handled a lot. Up side is unlike chrome, it will buff up to new with a mild polish by hand using inexpensive metal polish and even car polish. If you scratch it you can use a slightly harder polish to bring it up to new.

Once you get the part cleaned up and flash copered, I think you will be happy with the result.

Cheers
