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

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!!

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.
