Update... Dual Tone is the theme I'm going with now.
Bought some materials to polish the slide shown here:
About 1 hour later... with 400 grit wetdry sand paper I have this.
So now I'm going to go at it with 800 grit, 1000 grit and then 2000 grit. Followed by metal polishing compound.
I'll post pics as i progress and I can write up a DIY if anyone is interested.
