Same process as chroming, but obviously more expensive.
I was thinking of having that done to my tank....lol

Not really.

I'm close friends with someone who's last-name appears several times on any list of the wealthiest Saudis/Arabs. He has expressed that he has no need for a bodyguard in Saudi Arabia, although he does carry.

The guy I saw buy the Rolex walked in with two 'friends'. As the millionaire picked out his watch, the other guys stood around and when the 'boss' walked away with the watch, one of his 'friends' walked up to the counter and haggled the price then paid the guy. The 'boss' doesn't talk prices I guess.

The UAE is VERY safe.
