Pretty stuff. I would be afraid to put oil in it and run it. Does look nice, and no rust....might be a good thing. Be careful with the waste products. They are toxic.
This is copy chrome (cobalt)rather that real chrome so according to the mnf, with this (Copy chrome) kit there are `No Dangerous Chemicals - No Fumes - No Corrosive Acids` and no waste products (solution is virtually permanent)

although a heck of a lot safer than hexavalent chromium id still recommend wearing a dust mask and gloves
