ah, questions, questions ...
I've taken delivery of a stainless steel towel radiator for our forthcoming Bathroom refit. It's actually from TLC, and is advertised as being 'Brush polish stainless steel'. For some reason I was expecting this to have a 'satin' finish, which would match the rest of the fittings I've chosen (I suspect I read the above as 'Brushed finish'). However it actually has a polished finish - not quite as bright as chrome, but not far off. Any suggestions as to what I could do to tone down the finish to roughly match the satin finish of the other metalwork? I was thinking of either shot blasting it, or getting some wire wool on the thing ... would either of these work? Cheers Jon N |

Wire wool would be too coarse I would think - Try a fine grade scotchbrite
