I recently bought some multi-colored G10 from masecraft and have a few questions. I want to thin the material from the current 1/8" to around 0.1 to 0.09"

I've only worked with acrylic and generally use my belt sander to sand on both sides to thickness and then hand sand to 2000 grit.

The G10 I got has what appears like a glossy colored plate on top on the G10 material where the backside seems unfinished. They appear different in color, but I'm wondering if it is cause one side appears finished while the other side is rough.

I'm worried that my scales are going to be different color on the inside of the scales vs the outside. Should I not worry and treat this like acrylic where when I'm done sanding to 2000 grit on both sides after buffing I'll have the same colored glossy finish?
