I have accumulated in the past 6-8 weeks all four calibers of 3rd Gen Smiths. (9mm, .40, .45, 10mm.) A couple of them show some handling marks and a couple are pretty much like new with only a very few very light scratches in the matte finish. The only one that is a TSW is the 4566, and it really doesn't need anything finish wise. I suspect the TSW billboard wouldn't survive a refinish attempt.I am wondering if anyone has tried a home grown bead blast "touch up". Harbor Freight sells a basic bead blast cabinet for about $120. I would be willing to invest in one of those if I could do a credible looking refinish on matte stainless guns. I also have a 627 Pro revolver with this same finish. It's pretty new and has no handling marks as of yet, but it is bound to accumulate some sooner or later. Anyone tried an amateur refinish on any of these matte stainless guns?
