That why they make 4.5" 120 grit flap wheels to remove the messy welding splatter Most chrome places prefer they do the finish grinding to avoid weld contamination. The copper plating layer is where the finish is perfected. The artistry is buffer's ability to "flow" the copper. The chrome layer will not be any smother than the copper layer. The color is in the nickel and the chrome is simply to protect the nickle; otherwise, there would not be black chrome.
