Sure is purty...both nice but that C8 is beautiful! Only shame is that you have to treat it like a princess now to keep it that way. Now if you had clear powder coat applied then you have something usable and gorgeous. 
Nice job! 
Wow! Gorgeous!

Beautiful, rikr. I've always found the styling on the C8 to be kinda blahhh. Not anymore, that breathes new life into an old design.
Thanks guys, I do a have a High Gloss polyurethane spray but I've done other metals in the past and it takes a little away from the shine. When needed I will just use some polish. They are just sparkling in my curio cabinet.
Very nicely done.
I'd suggest this as a great way to keep that finish looking good.

Niiice!
And a +1 on that C8 styling being a bit blahh
That does bring some life to it :-)
That C8 really looks awesome. I was going to orange/bake my Palight but maybe I need to make another Home Depot run . . .
