I have the Rubies ones.I needed them quickly for an event so I painted the barrels Krylon chrome and the handles Krylon aluminum. I then took some fine grade steal wool to the handles to flatten out the shine and accented the brass colorings with some Testors gold. Didn't bother (not yet anyway!) with getting rid of the copyright and such.
They look pretty damn good. I even had a few people ask me if they were METAL when they saw them. For 8bucks a pop and 10bucks in paint, you REALLY can't go wrong. I am making my new website and will have detailed pictures of them, along with all of my costumes.

NOW... where you really REALLY can't go wrong is with a pair of METAL Westars....
