<p>Are you pressing the covers yourself? Have you tried aluminum? If you're recycling, I would think aluminum siding would be a good bet for a source of low cost material. I was surprised to read that the old pressed metal toys that dime stores used to carry, were often made from recycled tin cans. I've been saving a pile myself for different projects. Recycling rocks!</p>

Stephan-glad you asked! These models are my first run and are blued steel.<br />
I also offer polished steel covers on my pickups. They are also half the height of most reissue pickups - so easier to install. All new models available this weekend-<br />
Stay Tuned!!!<br />

<p>What are the covers made of? It looks like steel. Don't you want to use aluminum, brass, or stainless for the best flux pattern (least disturbed/detoured flux pattern)?</p>

<p>I have more cover designs. The standard one is doing well. I love brass but it would push the price way up there. Trying to keep pups in a range people can afford.</p>

<p>Hey Tramp -</p>
<p>I used black laquer automotive paint and go over it with some fine wet/dry sandpaper. You can go even smoother with steel wool.</p>

<p>I think I could do that-I would have to add a bit of shipping across the pond.</p>
