Alien Skin have a plug-in especially for brushed metal effects - under their impact collection.

I have found a Fractal fill works really well for a brushed effect...

I am not sure if it is O.K.

I believe it is more fun to use your imagination.
This is made from a modified fabric fill. - AF

Under bitmap fills/miscellaneous textures/stone 3 (way at bottom) is a texture that can be colored gray and placed over the chrome filter for some interesting effects.

Different filters and effects applied on the bottom example: India Ink for the wood texture from Flaming Pear.

Have a look at Gary's workbook. He shows how to handle a number of metals and to get the brushed look, just clone the shape and use john's suggestion of a Fractal fill with both Node fill handles fairly close together. After that then give it a stainglass transparency to suit your taste.
