Default sheet steel finishing and partial engine turning?!

i'd like to apply the engine turned, swirly effect to some steel sheet
and was wondering a few things. i ran across
http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/et/items.gif (middle item) and noticed
the turning seems to just STOP at a really nice edge. anyone know how
to do this? also, say i actually manage to accomplish this, with
un-turned bands of plain steel on the sides. what can i do to shine up
the finish on the sides to change them from dullish dark grey to a
slightly brighter silvery (similar to the overall color of the swirls)
?? any help and tips on finishing is MUCH appreciated! thanks!
