Looks nice! I really like the weathered look on my own Dominix LE v2 & yours looks fantastic as well. Did you just use sandpaper or other methods as well?

I used a circular wire brush that goes in a drill as well as a circular sand paper tool that has flaps.

Flap sanders are such versatile tools!

Yes they are. I have a job as a metal finisher so I'm familiar with the tools, just used to making things look shiny and new instead or old and worn.

I like what you have done so far.  What's a flap sander ?  Can you show a pic and briefly explain how to use it ?  Smiley

Use is pretty straigh forward, attach it to your rotary tool or drill, and go at the surface you are sanding.  The flaps contour to the shape of the surface, so give a pretty even abrasion, so great for even sanding, even inside crevices, over corners, and the like.

Flap sander and circular wire brush. when attached to a drill, you gently glide it over the whole surface of the hilt to dull the black finish, then with either or both tools you will spend more time on areas that would show wear over time like the areas descending to the choke points, lower handle grip, and emitter area.
