Center Console in the Works

These pics may answer some question, I still need to cut the hole for my manual tranny shifter. The brushed aluminum is actually vinyl. I don't know how to do the whole brushed look on aluminum, so thought this would be best. These are 2 5/8" gauges, like them better than the smaller ones. I will get some more done tomorrow, and it will look more complete.

Metal that will get overlayed with the vinyl.

I would like to have real brushed aluminum, but I will take what I can get right now.

What did you guys use for the brushed aluminum? Did you use aluminum and then use the technique to make it brushed?
