have you even seen one in real life? it's a satin silver finish, not a chrome silver finish, that's why it looks "plastic" to you, it still looks better than a sanded frame, especially after it starts to get tarnished

so short of sanding it and polishing and clearcoating and hoping for the best, your only option would be to get it chromed, which could be risky as the metal might not stand up to the process, OR buying a silver frame, that's about it.

Pshh that's what you get. If you want the nice shit, you pay 300$ for a frame.
But if you are only going to skirmish with the hi-capa no point of spending money to get your frame to silver, or even going through all that work to chrome you frame to look nice.

EDIT: I also heard something called sandblasting? Will that work?
Sandblasting just takes off a top layer. Give it a couple of months and an unprotected surface will oxidize again.

Mr.Hitman is right, if you're gonna rock the bitch like a gun is meant to be rocked, no point.

If you plan to do that racegun shinanigans, just order a new frame :P (No offence to racegunner's it's just FAAAAAAAAAAAAAR from my thing :P)
