Thanks, Graham. Fred Thomas says there's a kit for this sold by Eastwood. I 
might take a crack at doing it my self if I can't get the look I want from 
some of the ready-made goods. I imagine, though, that $200 a sheet might 
start to look reasonable after 4-5 hours at the drill press (pillar drill? I 
like that:-).

Best regards,

 I believe it is called machine turning, and you can do it yourself using a
 pillar drill with a flat sanding disc, the base material can be aluminium or
 stainless steel for the silver finish or any other metal for other colours,
 the base colour of the metal.
