Topic: How do you get a mill finish look on alloy?

[aussie]

Does anybody know how to get a mill look finish on Alloy, or for you Yankee's it Aluminum  .
My new alloy fuel tank,i don't want to highly polish, i want to get back the milled looked and then clear coat it to stop smudge marks and finger prints.

Any help would be appreciated.

Depending on the condition, work with varying paper, ending with a fine wet sand and finally 0000 or 0000 steel wool. This will give you a nice "satin finish"

I agree it's hard to beat the milled look you're looking for.
