[Broomhandle]

I want to start a project this winter to 'melt' an extra slide I have for a small 9mm pistol, an Astra A75. I won't touch the frame but I will take down the edges and corners and the slide release. Just a cosmetic project but that is all I am willing to try. I would also try to get some paint or small inserts for the sights to improve contrast and then get a nice finish on the slide.
Anyone ever done this? What tools should I use, I figure a file, sandpaper and a buffing wheel are all I need. What makes for a nice smooth finish?
Just an idea. Any thoughts.....
