Its only acid etched. If you hit it with anything you'll start to polish the matt areas and the etch will lose its definition. I'd leave it if I were you, looks fine.

Well... syntha 6 protein that got here yesterday, 1pt of General finishes wood turners finish, and 1 pt of aqua coat clear grain filler, can't wait to start working on hopefully two sets of fusion scales.
Some brass rods and washers , a Semogue 1470 brush and some wood/horn blanks to get some practice in for making scales.
I also found a nice piece of 01 plate that is 5x16.5x.250". No idea what to do with it yet, but eventually I may come up with something. When it comes time to HT and temper I can have that done at work. Just need to let our furnace guy know so he can put whatever I make in with another job.
Adjustable pushrods for a 2006 RoadKing Classic LOL
I picked up some 3/32 rod from HobbyLobby. I ordered the 1/16 rod and washers from ebay.
Waiting on 1 and 3K Naniwa SS's, a 30X magnifier, and a handful of TOBS AS samples.
