If you really want to to look "brushed," then brush it... Scotchbrite or other fibral abrasives would work just fine, and are easy to use.
But, don't forget, after the fuel filler door is "blasted" or "brushed," it will need to be re-anodized (clear, of course) or the surface will oxidize and look pretty cruddy in a very short time.

If you can make it to match the door handles too, that'll be a BIG plus

I have not interest if it looks anything like the hummer gas cap.
I like the extremely smooth lines of the german unit.
I also like the assymetry of the mounting holes and the attachment flanges for the german unit.

Is the gas cap curved in two planes?
What does the inside look like? Can we get a photo of the scratched cobra unit?
Aluminum might scratch easily. If it gets scratched (keyed) is it possible to fix it?

Sorry Guys... no gas door yet... Paul said it would be 4-8 weeks and this week makes 6. I sent him an email yesterday checking if he had an eta, but have not heard back yet.
I promise to give you guys a write-up as soon as I have them in my hands.

Can you elaborate on the fitment issues. We have been assured by Paul that he has done several and they fit well.
Please provide more detail.
Thanks,
