Nooooooooo its horrible!

Any metal stockists can probably point you in the right direction.

Yes like the link, but slightly larger circles

I've "Engine turned" panels myself but only to hide deep scratches and the fact I've used crappy second hand materials!!
For steel/Stainless, use carbonundrum paste and a dowl/broom handle turned down and stuffed in a drill. For ally, brasso, polish, oily wet and dry etc...
A pillar drill works best so you can get the swirls even!!

make your own own with an abrasive
mop.
my mate takes scraches out of the stainless version with the above

Yeah, make your own. Get pillar drill, get abrasive disc, and starting machining.

See you in a year or two

Alternatively, cover it with vinyl.
