I have searched for Polished Aluminum in the Vancouver area. Talked to a few metal distributers that have sent me to others but in the end I have found nothing. I am very interested in ordering from Ontario if anyone is willing to split the shipping I would be up for it.

My question now is if it is better to go with the hammered finish or the smooth. There is a 3% difference in the reflectivity. But would it be a more natural light scatter. Right now I have simple U shape reflectors made from 24" by 12" aluminum sheets bought at Home Depot.

Not to hi-jack the thread but GSP you have me excited about this project also. I am looking at building a metal brake out of some angle iron to help with the forming.
