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 looksA non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.Fully reflective.

Worth knowingHard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.A living finish.Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.
Looking after itWipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Nothing abrasive, ever.A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.
