Where there is no pre-molded texture, you can either try and replicate by shooting paint through mesh as they do for carbon fibre effect or use a textured foil in place of paint
i.e glue the foil onto the surface.
Some have used the foil from cigarette packets to good effect.
I think there's some textured foil intended for use as heat shielding that you can try.
You can also try and apply a similar texture to some Bare Metal Foil and use that.

I kind of like the mesh idea more than the foil one for some reason lol so basically use mesh to get the pattern, and then apply some of that metal finish sprays (forgot name) to make it metal. right?
