Hi I was trying to match the beadblast on my S&W 945-40.I tried
glassbeads at 55 lbs on my sigma slide (I found a use for that gun) and it turned out with a finer finish then the factory.
It looked about like a kahr mk9 finish.
I want to stay away from the the numbers on the slide on the 945
I just tying to get some small marks out.
Is there any different blasting media that would be a closer match?
Thankyou,Scott
 
Have used the equiv. of glass beads that they use is traffic paint to make it reflective. You could also try altering the pressure behind the beads, that is how I change my texture pattern.
 
Thanks,Riss I tried different pressure no go on that one.
Where can I find for those road paint beads?
Thanks,Scott
 
BEAD BLAST

BROWNELL'S HAS SEVERAL DIFFERENT GRADES OF BEADS. THEY HAVE A TECH LINE THAT HAS PROVEN HELPFUL WITH ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR QUESTION.
 
Try a municipal supply company. The supply company that selld paint and such to a local govt should have them. Should be cheaper by the Lb than regular glass beads.
