I see the interior is not plated. Did you mask it.... I'm assuming that the highlights are achieved by sanding back the plate.. But if you masked the interior, then maybe you masked the surface as well?
Or did you just sand back the interior as well.
Or was it option three.
Look is very effective. Beauty!
