Well, yes. I was only addressing your posting stating that cold rolled materials were “key points to consider”. For the subject of this thread,the surface finish of rolled plates used by the Germans in WW II, it need not be considered, at all.

There is a panther at The Bovington Tank Museum that is likely the most original in existence, it was built post war under British supervision in the original factory from surplus war time production parts. I don’t believe it had much weathering and zero battle use or damage and it looks smooth from 4 meters away. Not show car perfectly smooth but not textured. I would say a paint roller leaves more texture than original German rolled Armor plate had originally.

Exactly my point re my visit last Wednesday; as I said then (post above) “smooth as a baby’s bum.” and I was referring to the Panther(!)
