Appearance of #4 finish on stainless vs aluminum

October 13, 2009

I need to figure out if a #4 finish looks the same on Aluminum as it does on Stainless..any thoughts. My guess is that it doesn't look as reflective on Aluminum?

Thanks

Hmmm. Technically speaking, they should be nearly identical in smoothness. Appearance will be different because of the metals.
