Definitely steelIs the original thermostat casing steel or aluminum? I can't remember and I'm too lazy do dig back through the "discovery" thread right now.
Definitely something you can do, though would make the cold cast aspect kind of redundant. I'm gonna try some alternative casting methods brought up to me that may actually be impacting the ability to get it shinier, or at least achieve a better finish. I'll be experimenting tonightI'd say if plain ol' elbow grease doesn't get it shiny enough, Testors' stainless steel Metalizer might be a good approach. Spray the sealer on first, then the Metalizer. Once it's cured, it buffs to a finish that looks almost exactly like the real thing, and won't rub off from normal handling.
Mine arrived today!
The castings are excellent! Details are crisp & sharp, & you can almost read all the writing around the outer edges that are stamped in the original. They are also very easy to clean up & trim off the casting excess.
Sorry for no photos. The lighting is gone.
Thank you tubachris85x !! I have no idea what I’m gonna use these on yet, but it’s nice to have ‘em at the ready.
