Greetings,

For a fast web search and equally fast search across the MCMF board I'd hoped to find a lead or leads - alas, I haven't.  I'm on the hunt for some source of a waterslide decal affording was is termed an 'engine turned' surface finish whereby oil is applied to an aluminum surface in combination with a wire brush spun by drill.  The resulting pattern which appears as a series of carefully controlled overlapping swirled marks is something usually seen on much older Indianapolis racers, and in a decorative sense on mid-1970's Pontiac Firebird Trans Am instrument panels which most will remember or recall.  Attached below would be some material I applied to a 1:18th SCCA Trans-Am Challenger that proved very nice indeed - albeit my supplies (gifted years ago by someone quite skilled at coming up with material appearing spot-on) are running low.  Might anyone provide guidance or have lead to something similar?  Kind thanks for your review of this query...

STS decals had engine turned decal sheets in gold and silver. I used them on this dashboard.
