Quoted from Mbecker:Just curious -- I'm thinking about doing some chrome (lockdown, rails, hinges, possibly legs, hopefully can stop myself from doing much more than that) on a restore and wondering about fingerprints/damage over time. I thought I read somewhere that when you chrom you have to wipe off the lockdown all the time? Is this true - and if so is it because fingerprints are just really obvious or do finger oils do damage over time to chrome?
Also, are true chromed legs that much different looking and the standard new set of "chrome" legs from say Marco?
if you are chroming it, its not a restoration unless it was already chrome, at best it's a resto-mod. Yes, it looks good... until you touch it. Don't do it if you actually like ot play your games, do it if you just like to look at 250 boxes of lights.
