Default "butler" finish for instrument panel?

First off, does anyone sell a nickel-plated '28-'29 instrument cluster with a proper butler (brushed) finish? I haven't been able to find one.


Second, I used the Scotch-brite pad approach to put the proper finish on the gear shift and emergency brake levers and it worked very well. However, it did not work well on the instrument panel - it was too hard to keep the buff lines parallel and applied evenly. Is there anyone out there that will provide that service? I talked to a couple of metal polishing shops near me but no one wants to or does it.


Thanks for you help!!
