ahhh..I see...punched the above into ebay and found a polish site selling stuff...many patterns too including aluminium.

Watched the video that was attached to ebay item....bit of spraying, cleaning an hot gun action

what's that all about...is it adhesive backed?


Many thanks

PS...can you laquer over it to toughen it up....a tiny bit might tart up the gear shifter silver bit that's worn through
