Handsome devil!
The Copper Vein is such a handsome finish.. I'd like to have one but frankly I'm not sure I am sufficiently civilized to pull it off

The picture doesn't capture the color it really looks nice in normal lighting, the RM is so polished it looks more like gold then brass.
I just got the copper vein door a couple days ago.
It's my favorite color combo, for now,

I noticed that you have to get it in just the right lighting to really get a good picture of the copper vein, it'll either be too shiny or just look dark otherwise. They always look slick in person tho!
Looking awesome! The black wrinkle/copper vein is one of my favorites. I absolutely love mine but it's a Mini 2.1. I may just have to get copper vein doors for my Grand & VV Grand someday just to give them a new look sometimes.
Man, I just ordered that exact same set-up. That looks sick. I can't wait to receive mine.
Thanks for posting.

All you guz postin those cool lookin brass RM2's !
The brass color didn't show up very good in the pic?
No need to title the post copycat, I think it looks great and has a unique look. Those colors all meld together very well.
I also admire the way you setup that photo. It's easy to imagine you having a big satisfying vape after sawing up a tree with a your Stihl or Poulan.
cheers

Well Bob and Chohan.. I figgered that handsome getup was well worth copy-en myself...
I have to say I am supremely pleased with it. Gonna make my RM2 shine like yours too, Bob, when my jar of Mothers shows up next week.
COPY CAT!
I used an old 510 to 510 connector to chuck the RM up in a cordless drill and started with 220 grit to remove the nickel plating.
Followed by 800 grit wet-n-dry to remove the 220 scratches, then the 2000 grit wet with a little dish soap polished it right up.
Used some metal polish while still in the drill to finish it to look like gold.

Very nice Stat.
I used Nevrdull on mine when I first received it and it gave it that shiny gold look. After using it for a while now though, I've resisted the urge to polish it and it's developed a slight patina from handling ( screwing, unscrewing, wick changes) and darkened up slightly and resembles yours. I actually think it matches the copper vein better so I may neglect the polish for another couple weeks and just roll with it.
cheers
Never heard of those... looks like I got some googlin to do!
Yeah after I posted that I noticed some patina already starting to develop.. I may just leave it how Rob sent it.
Either way it is a handsome addition, imho
You wouldn't know how much the individual doors cost, would you?
