That turned out awesome. It's a totally different kit. The latest pictures appear to have a tinge of green. If you're looking to accent the hoops, a base color that matches the wrap would look great. Some type of grey-ish/green-ish. You can always cover it up with some warp, if you ever find some.
If your looking to try something else on the hardware, I've had success with a product called Flitz. It's mild, eco-friendly and works great on chrome. I use it for all of my hardware cleaning.
I can't wait to see it when you get the resonant hoops.
This is the kind of set I'm looking for as a fixer upper.
Thanks for sharing.
