    Conheci essa máquina quando era criança, inclusive dá para ver no minuto 01:17 que essa máquina foi fabricada no Brasil.

    The texture on the metal piece that surrounds the key levers is called "hammered". Your product looks really good, but there is an easier method that comes in a spray can. It can be found online and is made by rustoeum. Hope this helps with future projects!
