The chrome appears solid and continuous. I think this machine uses some sort
of thermal film transfer. Any color film can be run through it, including
chrome. It isn't quite as nice as the chrome on a fully restored '53 Vette,
but it's still pretty good.

The art is just about finished. I'll get some better quotes soon.
