I tried to find somewhere for about 12 months solid and struck out, nobody seems to have kit big enough for an alloy.

Things may have changed in the last few years, but it's not exactly a growing industry. Shame, as I love the look, Aeromax is pretty darn close though.

My work has a vibradyne, great bit of kit. Doesn't take a lot of effort for a decent finish.
