Super fine steel wool. Start with a course to cut the finish and work up with finer to the desired matte surface. It will definitely take a little elbow grease...I Googled the Liberon....a wood dye?
hang on. now we are saying there are current run mojo centuras that are somehow even more clone=y than previously?Sell yours and get another one. The picture of the one you want was the original enclosure with the more rounded edges. It’s a little different than the new ones that are closer to the real deal.
Absolutely NOT. The final products are finished differently, so the results will not be the same. The chrome finish is a plating process and steel wool will not get you that matte finish as in the “raw aluminum” finish of the other Centura.Yep, steel wool, Liberon, scotchbrite. You’ll lose the labeling. You could put a little scotch tape cut to a small rectangle over the print to try to save it though...
Oh no I was just talking about the case. I have the original case one. It’s great.hang on. now we are saying there are current run mojo centuras that are somehow even more clone=y than previously?
pish posh, i maintain my low serial number centura has more magic dust than these “newfangled” ones
Yes, it won’t change to aluminum but you can sure change the surface from mirror to matte.Absolutely NOT. The final products are finished differently, so the results will not be the same.

Safest and easiest, WTTF add.Is it possible to (safely) change the look from

to

by oneself at home?
0000 wire wool or some chemicals perhaps?
I have the shiny number and i am well scunnered with it !
So, unless you want to spend several hours scrubbing down the finish to a matte finish, good luck. It would take sandblasting the finish to get a good consistent matte finish. Ive worked with chrom and steel wool just wont do the trick. The caroming process is actually very tough and when you are chroming aluminum or any metal (yes, even plastic can be chromed), the process starts with a nickel plating first, then a chroming which is usually 2 steps or more to get a pristine finish.Yes, it won’t change to aluminum but you can sure change the surface from mirror to matte.
It’s chrome and wont do much. Muriatic and works well on raw aluminum like corigated aluminum sheets to give it an aged look.Wonder if muriatic acid would do the trick
