I remember reading an article a long time ago about restoring the console inserts. It recommended only having the plater put the plating on while you did the surface prep. I think it recommended reproducing the brushed look by using sandpaper on one of the layers. I don't have that much time to work that closely with a plater so I have been asking the platers if they can reproduce the finish. One place told me it was originally was applied by the manufactures tooling and that they could get a close satin finish but it wouldn't be exact. Any idea how that was done? Is satin finish the correct term for what i call the brushed look or is that something else?

Is there anything new to add to this post? (echo...echo...echo...)
I have a good radio bezel and a firly nice shifter plate (auto) but the back plate is rough and ashtray not too great.
I'll look for other threads, but this thread covers the same need.
