From the seals of coffee cans, vitamin tablets, yogurt cups, etc. Grear for fabbing aluminum fairings and such. Some have a textured or stamped pattern, which can be burnished flat with a smooth tool. Here I am using a wood sculpting tool. You can see the flat areas where I have burnished.:

I got mine off of a peanut can. Smooth. Plan on using it to punch out headlight covers.

McCafe brand coffee in the 30 oz. can has a smooth sheet that is just about the perfect thickness and aluminum look. Their medium roast in the brown can tastes really good too!
