Ah, interesting! Thanks for that.
The stand has been clear coated and my OG is back on display.

Now that's cool.Saw this on TeePublic. For $13, I couldn't resist.
What's the harm in using nail polish remover or the like to dumb down the white wash on the grips? I also just got my first Tomenosuke OG (pictures forthcoming) and this is my first post,so thanks for having me.You can probably use a toothbrush to clean out some of the white residue in the grips.

Thank you. I was leaning towards something like that and perhaps following up with super fine sandpaper so it doesn't look too choppy. Still, I'm open to ideas. Thanks for your time.Yeah, I think using acetone on plastic isn't a good idea.
What i wound up doing with mine was to use a metal scribing tool to scrape down the lines between the checkered areas on the grips. That removed most of the whitish residue while leaving them with a degree of weathering.
Here's a before and after shot.

Well, in this pic it's actually after and before, but you get the idea.
Incidentally, the acetone, paint remover neither harmed the finish nor removed the white wash on the grips. I used a knife and acetone to achieve a partially weathered effect (carefully, of course). My next questions are do the replacement rips floating around eBay fit the og and will vinegar remover the finish from the steyer upper should I choose to modify that heavily? Thanks.Hummmm......maybe nail polish remover will tarnish the amber grips. Use with great precaution....
