Speaking of bare metal parts, to really get the most out of the bare metal look the surface needs to not only be perfectly metalworked flat (we're not building rat rods here), it should also be given consistent texture of some kind. Typically, brushed is the look of choice for most, and it's actually much easier to achieve than you might realize. All you really need is varying grits of quality sandpaper, and a very flat board or sanding block to attach it to, both of which are available through Eastwood or Harbor Freight.
