No the platinum looks like the brushed one. Not quite as bright.

Thanks dude. The regular contrast cut looks as if it has grooves machines into the polished area. Not digging that at all.

The "platinum" has a smooth finish in the machines areas. If in seeing that right.

By the way I just looked through pm website looking for contact info, which by the way was hard to find).

While doing that I found their "Drive line" covers and I like those a lot better than the "scallop line".

I still don't know what the difference is between "platinum" and non platinum contrast cut lolol.

Sent them an email. Hopefully I'll hear soon.

Here's a pic of the drive line cover.

In case someone does a search down the road. Here is the email I got from pm in response to the difference between "contrast cut" and "contrast cut platinum"

Contrast cut has a Black ano with a machined finish.
Contrast cut platinum gets polished after it is cut.
Thank you,
