Gman:
I had the Matte Stainless frame on my Semi-Compact
I hated that every little thing the ?brushed? against it, buffed the matte, leaving a blemish in the finish?.It really bothered me
SO, I polished it out?.LOOKED SHARP
BUT, I still wanted that matte look
So I took a Green ScotchBrit pad to it and gave it the ?Brushed? look
I wish it was a bit more matte, but I think it still looks VERY SHARP
I really dig that B-SA style frame too
