Bryans Tin Foil

[widget2k4]

Does anyone have a solution or successfully reproduced the finish bryans used with their tin foil finish on some machines ?

[bryans fan]

I can't answer your question, but I do know that it is a sheet of plastic. In some way during production it is moulded / pressed to give the relief, and then the Silver or Gold colour is a "paint" finish.
Many, many years ago some was for sale by Steve's Mum at an Auction. I don't know if it was NOS from Bryans or whether it was available from DIY or craft stores.
Sorry to not be of more help.

Looks perfect stu, will send them a message as they don't list it in a size big enough

Thinnest they do is 0.8mm original is measuring 0.35mm
Might be a problem when refitting the trim.
Incidentally has anyone seen that or similar anywhere to buy?

Well I think I managed to get it pretty close, just a word of warning if anyone is going down this road you have to have the patience of a Saint.
