A buddy of mine prefers matte finish pens. I found an American Beauty kit in satin gun metal at Rockler. The blank I chose is an AA Navy Camo. In the past, I've polished acrylic blanks then hit them with 0000 steel wool to dull the finish. But with this blank, for some reason, the steel wool left visible scratches. So I took WriteON's advice, and used Micro Mesh "backwards". It's not what I would call matte, but is definitely less shiny. And most important, there are no visible scratches.
