I'd get a rotary polishing dubry for a pistol and and pattern it with small circular swirls. Either that or i'd grain it.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Or you could make them out of thin plastic sheet from B&Q.Do away with the STD door handle, use small chain or wire through a hole in the card to the mechanism in the lock   ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!

Personally I'd cover them with some sticky flock stuff, even brushed you'll get annoying reflections off them if they're like that, that's pretty much what I did.I just laid the old door cards over the top, drew on and cut out the handles then (importantly) make sure you put in the old handle surrounds afterwards, looks a million times better and a lot of people don't think to.   ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Although seeing the flocked ones i'd go that route as you may suffer with glare. aaron6 wrote: I'd get a rotary polishing dubry for a pistol and and pattern it with small circular swirls.
