Any steel can be hardchromed. Stainless or not.

Mullanman,
That looks great! I take it the hard chrome finish is simular to aluminium what first applied? Or is it closer to stainless? Ant pics before it was polished? T.I.A. |

Hard chrome can be polished without damaging it? It seems like a finicky substance

Two things:
How do you get a gun to look like this:  and why does the trigger on the STI look like something my daughter made with legos?

That is a Nickel finish on that Springer in .38 super.
Hardchrome has a RH of greater than 68....Tough stuff. Polishes up well and is easy to clean. IMHO: There is no better finish....NP3 is nice and slick but is a coating and does wear off. Chrome becomes part of the metal and is quite durable.

Nickel has more a a yellow 'tinge and hardchrome 'bluish'
You can get that finish in hardchrome if you want...It is chrome.... I have a 1911 i had hardchromed...The barrel is now a high polished chrome finish...you can even see yourself in it. I didn't want that look for the rest of my gun. Although i do like the "Bling" factor that springer has, esp with the faux pearl grips. It has a certain 'coolness' to it.
