I wouldn't recommend a gasket made from sheet metal, just use the one that comes with the cover.

I like the hammered grey finish, wish the Solid letters were in black though, was gonna do that with an ink roller and some black paint, but I don't have an ink roller.

Sheet metal? You'd be better off making one out of a manila folder.
