I just acquired a 2001 manufactured, stainless, 1991A1 Colt that has some polishing of the original matte finish as a result of having been carried in a Fobus holster.

Is there any easy, cost effective proccess that will restore the matte finish to the polished areas?

The only way to restore the finish is to bead blast.

That's how the original finish was done, and there's nothing else that can duplicate it.

Not only that, but you have to do the bead blasting with a similar blasting media and at a similar air pressure to ensue a match on texture.
