Trying to find a media blasted rda like the russian 91% finish. Looking to match up my hcigar vt40, think it would look nice. All i can find is a tugboat Anyone know of other makes.

Find a shot blasting service close to you, give your RTA to 'em and if you tape off the important bits i.e. 510 threads etc wouldn't take 'em long or cost much either I reckon - go dig out the Yellow Pages...

I have a couple of barrel tumblers with ss shot might work? I'll chuck a old ss tank in and see, also have carbide grits etc as well so I could try them. Would need a nut on the 501 to feel threads good though. It won't be for a week though as I've got some rocks in tumbling atmo and they are all hard mofos, 7-8 mohs scale from memory. Been chugging away for 10 days all ready and only on stage 1 grit.
