I am modding a dragonfly and its a little rough around the edges (quite literally ) and I was thinking about satining it. Though I am not sure the plastic will hold up for it. Any comments are appreciated.

The plastic is plenty thick and durable, plus, you shouldn’t be removing much material anyway. 220 grit sandpaper works pretty great, but you may want some 100 grit if the edges are really bashed up.

the original “satin” finish was done by dif-e-yo… he just used scotchbrite pads.
