"but if cheap enough then what a way to treat a radio chassis or even smoothing cans? "
Oh! No Colin, or unless chromed originally. I know of only two: RAP in the UK and the mighty Scotts from the USA.
Actually it wouldnt be good for radio anything as like paint there is the problem of earth bonding.
I don't aim for the custom car look on old radio chassis or cans. Often I spray with Zinser shellac followed by matt lacquer for polished up electrolytics and nickel on chassis or valve cans isn't that bright to start with and naturally dulls.
Just watched the videos, great process and a kit as well. I expect if I tried it I would grab the wrong spray bottle
But I think you should get one. How about a chromed Bandsaw ?
Fortunately you don't get much sun up there so being blinded by reflections wouldn't be a problem
And you are on your way as you have the compressed air. That would stuff me for starters making up all those nipple things and copper pipe as Big Al did.
