Quoted from SealClubber:Brass does look great on it though.
Yep, a nice brass plating like Chestnut does would look great. Same on ToM and ToTAN as well. Can never go wrong with stainless or even glossy black powder coat.
I actually think the orange looks surprisingly decent and thought about it for mine. I hate brass and have pulled it from some of my games. Only one I've left it on for now is ToTAN, but even thinking about black there too.
For IJ, I had thought brass because everyone does it, but I ended up doing a "leather hat" brown that is pretty cool. Much more subtle. In darker lighting it isn't far from black, but in better lighting it basically matches Indy's hat / whip. Got it done by Matt at Back Alley. Not for everyone, but a nice option for the non-brass folks.

Sounds interesting, any pics?
Here are some from HEP's finished game gallery. They look pretty awesome. I would also be curious what chrome would look like.

Thanks for remembering my work
I thought that IJ came out fantastic with the balance of Orange and Black. I'm not a fan of Brass and thought it worked perfectly for the theme.

That does sound interesting, would like to see pics as well.
