no one i can find in the uk has a ballburnishing machine big enough to take a frame. my friend is a fabricator by trade and has tried companies all over britain and they all say the same. i've e-mailed biagio about it as he's done alot of fine resto's and he can polish it and apply another process afterwards which may give a more ballburnished effect. i'll let ya know as i know a lot of people would be interested if this can come close to ballburnished.......
