It's a very smooth, sleek feel after the protective coat is on it.
I'm capable of dulling it with really fine sandpaper though.

I put a clear coat on one of my sabers, but it  has an almost sticky consistency, what kind of clear coat do you use?

Thanks! I'd love to have you weather a saber for me... But I'll need the money to buy a new saber and to pay you first. So for now I'm just playing with the two I have.

Can I just say the anticipation for my saber, which Drahcir is currently working on, is practically killing me?

If it's any help, I'm almost done with it.

How durable is the paint job you do? Can you dull a saber to make it look like a well-kept antique instead of an abused tool?

It's quite durable, it's got a protective coat that will keep it as such.
It's only coming off if you seriously abuse it.

I could, yes, that wouldn't be an issue.
Do keep in mind, with a weathering like that the more grooves and detailed features a hilt has the better it will look.
Something like a Standard Issue, will be dulled down, but it won't have the same effect as something like a Graflex.

Sorry it took me FOREVER to finally write a review of these awesome sabers. Life came my way. I tried to make a slide show of the before and after pictures the best I could. As you can see they started a very nice, shiny black and silver. I asked Drahcir to heavily weather these sabers and possibly add a new window as if the Jedi/Sith has used this saber for a while. As everyone says, Drahcir did NOT disappoint. I was impressed with the pictures he sent but they looked even better in person. I can't thank you enough Drahcir for the GREAT work you did. Will def be sending you two more soon. Let me know what you guys think and once again VERY SORRY it took so long to write this and add the pictures.

With out further ado. Here is the new and improved double sides light saber I call "Torn". (Sure you can figure out why that is a perfect name)

Alright folks, I asked Drahcir to do something experimental with my Aeon grab bag. I asked him if he could do something to make it look very weathered, but also kind of patchwork as if it had been repaired and damaged repeatedly. This is what he came up with:













As you can see, the craftsmanship is superb and I am blown away by this custom work. A big thank you to Drahcir for such a great execution on a fuzzy experimental idea.
