New! Need a little help!

[Mandalor15]

I recently bought my first saber as a gift for someone at work. I have seen a lot of sabers in this thread whith silver groves. Do you sand the groove until it becomes silver? Or do you paint it? Thanks for any help!!

My question to you is; what do you mean by, "a lot of sabers in this thread with silver grooves?"

I'm going to assume you are talking about one of the styles of weathering that people perform on their saber. Now, if I'm correct about this, you start with one of the sabers that has been anodized black and you use sandpaper to weather the black off, creating an aged look to the saber.

I think you might actually be thinking of the LE versions of some of the sabers. They are the black ones with the grooves silver. For the most part, this is an option from Ultrasabers that they offer on some of the sabers for a bit extra. If those are the ones to which you are referring, they came that way. You could probobly di the same but getting sand paper in the groove might be a rough proposition (seewahtididther). You might be better off with a rotor tool of some sort.
