Nickle metal Plate?

I am quoting on a job that the customer states is mounted on a Nickle plate, not clear if it is nickle plated, or all nickle.

The image that I have from them is of a smaller product produced the same way looks completely like anodized brushed aluminum plate.

The brush runs vertical, not necessarily how I would have done it artistically, but they are the customer.

Anyone know of a nickle plated aluminum material?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Achitects and designers are generally referring to 'Nickel Plated Steel' (NPS) or Stainless Steel ....for their corrosion resistance qualities.
Brushed NPS is a standard architectural metal. Contact a 'Specialty' or 'Architectural' metals distributor in your area.

THanks for the replies

THe company specs are nickle plate, but after looking at what they want me to mimic, it is brushed aluminum, .050 thick so really nothing special. Since I know the environment where this is being installed, I know that it is the look they are going for not a wear or life of sign issue.

Brushed aluminum it is.

Brushed aluminum was what they were referring to, and it met their expectations.

Thanks for the insight.
