Thanks for the compliment on the seat. I put a lot of thought, and work into it.
Yep, I'm from Australia - down in the SouthEast, on the coast. I love Oz too!
I didn't really reshape the controls. I just filed the edges to clean them up a little bit, then polished them with 300, 400, 600 grit paper, then finished them with Autosol polishing paste. All the polishing created a slight radius on the edges.
FWIW, I sprayed them with clear acrylic, but it was hopeless! It's very difficult to get it to apply smoothly on highly polished metal, and the slightest knock scratches the paint. I cleaned off the paint and just installed them 'raw'. So far they have held up really well.
