Unless I'm misinformed--always a possibility--the slats aren't aluminum. They
are thin steel finished in a satin chrome
sometimes called 'butler chrome' (I read somewhere that the term came from
silver that had been excessively polished by
butlers).
At one time we had a discussion either here or at the forum (no, I didn't check
the archives). The effect is achieved
by leaving a sort of matte finish on the copper or nickel before applying the
chrome. A really good chromer can--if
he's had experience--achieve the effect. We got a fairly decent job done on
our BN2's grill by a local chromer.
