Hello,

That looks like what we (where I live anyway) would call a machine-turned finish. Some people call it "fish scales" too. I've never tried, but you may be able to recreate the effect if you are good with PSP or photoshop. It was popular to use it on dashboards of old cars and I guess it was popular on aircraft as well. I did a quick search but only found one sample texture and you would have to pay for it. Good luck!

To correct myself - it's also commonly called "engine turned." See the Spirit of St. Louis cowling for a good example.

No link posted to bypass any copyright problems, but if you google images for "Machined Turned Steel" or variations thereof, you may come up with something useful.
