1967 Dart Concept Parts

what if you used a very course sanding to get a brushed look on the raised face portions? Have you ever considered casting these in AL or a low melt alloy? You can cast in fine green sand and then work the casting to whatever finish you like. I 3D printed some "S" medallions myself and customized a few aspects. I may cast them one day but the finish is very rough, low resolution hobby printer was used but I bet AL is soft enough to grind out and polish.
The 3d print was originally just to make sure the design was correct in shape and would be accurate enough to use on the seats. The chrome was an after thought as bling seems to draw areention to its self. You are correct about the sandpaper. On the metal I recreated the brushed effect pretty well. I had not thought of a metal alloy cast. I’ll look into it. Thanks for the insight.

Cheers
