      Or did you just paint them?

        We are still finalizing the details, whether or not this will be limited production run is still up in the air. The final product will run $60 - $70 for a complete set.

        No, it is a chemical plating process from start to finish.

            Absolutely not true... When done properly chrome plating is one of the most scratch resistant finishes out there. Yes, weight is added due to the plating process but the finished product is only slightly heavier then your typical Halo shell.

              $60-70 is a tad steep for shells only(even if it is chrome)

              i just think they might look really abd after some ehavy use, but interesting to see how they hold up, if they dont crack the $ may well be worth it

                I love the idea of blinding people on the field with light

                  Yes...a nice Aurora cocker with one of those on top...I'd hate to be on the reflected side of that.

                  Very nice...I might have pick up some of those.

                    Will you do custom plating for parts, say, a superstock pump?

                        hmm a local company does quiet a bit of plastic chrome plating for GM, I might have to talk to some of my friends and see if they can hook me up with somthing like that. I never thought about doing it to a hopper, although I have for other stuff.

                        Is the inside covered as well? How thick is the chrome? I am sure its not thick enough to effect paint in the feed tube, but still am currious.

                          Wait....
                          Are these metal or plastic?

                          I didnt know you plate metal onto plastic, or at least I never thought about it. I guess you can put a charge on plastic.

                          how about it flaking off?

                          Cool.

                          I will have to say about the coolest shell i have seen was a clear one that was airbrushed from the inside to match a tequila faded gun.

                            They're cool if you like the bling. Not my dish though.

                              I am assuming they are plastic. Look at the chrome grills on chevy trucks, those are plastic. They take a beating from bugs and debris, but they still look pretty good for a fairly long time. I am sure the process is pretty similar to what they do on those.
