Stainless Steel / Aluminum Finishes
Hi, I work for Hodgetts+Fung Design Associates on the design of the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee. I am looking for new and exciting samples of stainless steel or aluminum finishes. I would greatly appreciate if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks - Thierry

Thierry,
The word finishing has a number of options. It can be a paint coating, metal plating or treatment, or surface refinement. I can only help you with the latter. If you are looking to get a mirror finish or surface finish acceptable for either painting or plating, let me know. Tony
