Illuminatus Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Can anyone tell me what the base color is for the Chromed Hau and whether it exists as a standalone LEGO color? Also, just how rare is it for a LEGO piece to be chromed in that fashion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mukaukau Nuva Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Chroming used to be a lot more common; lightsaber hilts used to be chromed, and a few pieces were chromed with gold. There's just an unpleasant greyish-green plastic underneath when the chrome flakes off (at least on the gold & silver chromed pieces I have). It was probably chosen either as a cost-saving measure (chrome pieces are purported by TLG to have been rather expensive) or because that dye colour bonded best with the chrome; probably a compromise of both those things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
