machine-turned alumin(i)um Explanation: See pictures at: http://www.allardj2x.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=59 http://www.leagueofgentlemen.co.uk/dashdynamics/DD068.htm http://www.offroaders.com/directory/custom/TLC-Icon.htm The frustrating thing is that this same finish has come up here before, but under a differnt name, and I can't track it down. |

1 hr confidence:
Hammer toned alluminium Explanation: The alluminium boxes are finished with a type of paint which gives a finish as you see in the photographs of the link you had given. This helped a lot for me to arrive at its correct translation. This type of finish gives the impression that it has a fish similar to granite on finishing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-10-19 10:51:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I am sorry that I have spelt Aluminum wrongly as Alluminium. |
