Got the regular MX design Romeu pipe and it's awesome, he makes some great work
Liking the build mate -
@stinkwheeler Looking good bud, BTW Royal Mail only holds stuff for 18 days normally, so you got lucky there!!!

That's impressive. I've never been able to understand how you polish metals!

To keep her looking like that use this stuff to protect her;
(And you can upload images direct to the thread, just click the camera icon, select photo, click OK and then wait till it's 100% processed before posting).

I wouldn't spend too long polishing, mine seems to bake an orange tint and blue at the cylinder end after a good thrashing! Looks awesome, really want an underslung now

Which is more noticeable on welding seams as the weld causes the molecules in the metal to change slightly, which affect's the metals properties and causes discoloration in the ends of the metal pipes. Only a surface coating like chrome plating will hide those blue and orange tints for-sure, otherwise they will return as you have stated.
@stinkwheeler If you lowered the picture res to 1920 x 1020, you will also be able to store more pics on your camera, as each photo will take up less space on your memory card.
