Compare finishes side by side
Choose two to four finishes. A finish is always approved on a physical sample of your metal, so ask for samples of the ones you like.
Swipe sideways to see every finish.

| How it looks | A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights. | Fully reflective. | Formed entirely by hand. | A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, bronze | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper | Stainless steel, brass |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | The dents hold dust and, outside, water. | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. | No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match. | Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels. |
| Looking after it | A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks. | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface. |
