gloss is rather shiny....

if everyone wants technical which grade ????? 430 or 304 are normally stocked. we have 304DP1 in .7mm,.9mm, 1.2mm and sometimes some 1.5mm
we have the above but finish is 2B which is commercial finish altho TBH we dont stock this as the inside of ALL the above is this finish so if we need it we turn inside out. but the best one is circle finish /ET which is exactly how it sounds. finish is lots of 1 1/2 inch circles covering it...
