OK, so had this boring matte black furniture - decided it needed a good cleaning (can you say OCD?)
Anyway - a few minutes with a scotch brite pad and this interesting pattern began to appear! Some serious elbow grease and finishing off with some TR3 Resin glaze and these puppies look awesome! (or is it just me?  )

That's one way of doing it. Turned out real nice. Never tried scotch brite. I usually buy them that way and keep the nice ones looking nice. *facepalm* What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'll give you $5 each for those unacceptable matte black pistol grips. 
Just trying to help out. I mean, I have stocks that you can buff out that I'll GIVE you to keep you from doing that to nice ones. Trade me hand guards? Sell me your pistol grips? I'm going crazy here.

I'm going crazy here. Hmmm... haven't found many $5 mottled grips out there - so making my own didn't seem unreasonable. The matte stocks and grips are plentiful and pretty inexpensive so thought I would give it a try! |

Depending on the thickness of this cardboad.. It should be 3-4$ first class mail. |
