Cool Polished finish dyno-hub

My single speed has polished hubs that look nice. I'd like an inexpensive dyno-hub that matches.

SON hubs come in a polished version, but I don't want to spend that much. The Shimano hubs I've seen are generally a matte finish.

Anyone out there know of a polished dyno-hub with a Shimano price?

The Shimano hubs are nice and smooth,It wouldn't take but an hour or so to polish it by hand,10 min in a lathe.

Hmmm... The VO hub looks nice, but the switch/clutch/whatever thingy is kind of ugly. It's a contender though.

What do you polish a Shimano hub with? I honestly have no experience with such things.
