Default Stainless matte finish

Is there anyway to restore small scratches on a stainless matte finish revolver, without having to refinish the whole gun?

Cool but that is brushed or glossy stainless. Mine is the Glass Bead look; so you will the frosted look. I wanne keep it like that, but there are some minor scratches that I wanne take care of without damaging the overall finish(frosted).

I'll show the finish:

You can have it refinished by the factory or have it bead blasted by any number of after market shops. Hope this helps.

The Finish on the CS-1s & CS-3s were special..
There's no way to just touch up the marks that these revolvers get.
I would just live with the "Character Marks" & have a great time shooting it if it were me..
Also haveing the revolver refinished "Glassbeaded" will lessen it's value under the factory "Marred" Finish..
Those Revolvers have been bringing $700-$800 Lately..
Nice Piece BTW..
The Round Butt Grip Frame, Matte Finish & Undercut front sights were standard on these & were used by the U.S. Customs Service..
