its a brushed finish under the bluing, id have to use a finegrit to sand off the brushing to make it mirror. the color would be slightly different as it isnt chrome, but it most certainly can go full mirrored.
I actually really like the shiny+brushed look on it. It really pops, looks much nicer in person that the nickel one ive seen at a local store.
the whole point of this thread isnt what its gonna look like...its what do I finish it with now. although, im not sure it has to be finished... i put water on it as a test last night, this morning, no rust or anything else, ill carry it all day today and see if sweat is any different.
