Can 1. The oni diff is that the factory finish is done using machine to get those perfect straight lines. Wat we can do to replicate that is to use a L pipe, put it on top of the panel n sand in perfect straight lines. Oni thing we cant replicate is of course the anodised finish of the brushed alu panels.

erm, i felt that the quality is far from the factory ones. because by using sand paper, we cannot get consistent depth of the line and parallel lines.

and if you really observe well, the surface besides the lines are still in mirror finishing, but if we use sand paper, the whole place becomes blur

anodizing means electolysis dude.
