So, does anyone know how to do this? I'd also like to get the same
matte finish on turned black ABS parts.


I turned a piece of ABS and then blasted it with glass beads. Looks

Try polishing with "Mothers" - from a local auto dealer. This is Al polish
for auto work. Fantastic on brass, copper, steel and the like.

I haven't looked, I suspect it is a chunk of Dover Cliff :-)
IIRC, diatamacious (sp) earth.
