Has anyone ever tried sandblasting a commercial pen kit, to see if the finish can be matted back? While I love kits like the Sirocco and the Zeta, I sometimes find the factory finishes a bit plasticky and toylike. I'm going to dig out my blasting cabinet and try to flat the finish on a Zeta...

Does anyone know of a lock n load bullet kit where the clip is not a fixture - in other words I want to be able to assemble the pen but omit the clip. (yes, I know - but the customer is always right). All the kits I know of have their clips moulded into the finial, so they are non starters.
