dlearl476....The final top coats are acrylic or other. Since it's real silver it doesn't have the hard mirriorlike finish that real chrome plating over copper and nickel has. It is shiny and reflective like in the video but has the soft glow of polished silver. For what I'm using it for, it will be perfect because I wanted a polished aluminum shine. When I'm at the shop I will ask them if they can make it highlighted by making the little nooks and crannies dark so it will look like an aluminum casting that's been polished.
I will know the price in the next few days after I take the air cleaner housing in to LA to the shop where they can look at it..................Bruce
