Rosco you are a nut!
I know it's a blasted finish but sand, bead or like 5C said, glass bead...they are all different

Aluminum Oxide is a sharp, long-lasting abrasive sandblasting cutting media that can be re-used many times for grit blasting. As an abrasive blasting media, it is harder than most common dry abrasive blast media and will cut even the hardest metals and surfaces. This particular abrasive blasting media comes in a wide range of sizes.
White Aluminum Oxide is a 99.5% ultra-pure grade of blasting media. White Aluminum Oxide is increasingly being used in critical, high performance processes such as microdermabrasion. White Aluminum Oxide is also required where contamination from other metal oxides must be kept to a minimum.
Corn Cob is a biodegradable blast media that will not etch or warp surface being blasted. Ideal for applications such as wood log homes and thin metals and plastics.
Crushed Glass Grit is a silica-free consumable abrasive that offers aggressive surface profiling and removal of a variety of coatings. Manufactured from 100% recycled bottle glass, Crushed Glass Grit produces a whiter, cleaner finish relative to mineral/slag abrasives.
Creating a softer, brighter finish than angular abrasives, Glass Beads offer a silica-free option for shot blasting, peening, honing, cleaning and light deburring. Glass Beads can be recycled up to 30 times.
Available in a variety of sizes, Urea, Acrylic, Polyester and Melamine Plastic Abrasives are ideal for applications such as auto restoration to deliver a high stripping rate without damage or warping of the substrate.
Pumice is the softest of all the blasting media yet still offers excellent stripping properties. Excellent for blasting surfaces such as soft wood to remove paint and coatings with no impact on the substrate.
Silicon Carbide is the hardest blasting media available. Silicon carbide has a very fast cutting speed and can be recycled and re-used many more times that either sand or aluminum oxide. The hardness of silicon carbide allows for much shorter blast times and lower overall cost per hour relative to other blast media.
Steel Grit is an angular carbon steel designed for quick and effective removal of surface contaminants from metals. Softer than Aluminum Oxide and less likely to fracture, Steel Grit leaves an etched surface superior for adhesion of paints and coatings.
Steel Shot is ideal for peening applications to impart a clean, smooth and polished finish. This dense, smooth shot can be used up to 3,000 times producing minimal dust during the blasting process increased compressive strength of the metal.
Walnut Shell Grit is the most versatile of the organic media due to its angular, durable shape yet is still considered a soft media. Use as an economical, biodegradable alternative for sensitive blasting operations that require aggressive stripping without affect on the substrate.

hehehe 5C, you said Urea
Urea Blasting Media, Urea is a plastic grain stripping abrasive used in sandblasting operations.
Reminds me of uriah heep.

It is a 120 grit sand blasted finish , I am getting some final prototypes done with the finish and anodizing done on them
SO I will have pix later

Still, it's almost as funny as Farting !!!
urea |yoŏˈrēə|
noun Biochemistry
a colorless crystalline compound that is the main nitrogenous breakdown product of protein metabolism in mammals and is excreted in urine. Chem. formula: CO(NH 2) 2.
What can I say ~ some little boys never grow up

I thought he said Urethra, he he
This is really getting exciting! Can't wait!
Thanks for all the details hehe! I was looking at pics of the different types of blasting on google.

It's funny how "great minds think alike" - that's what I always called her!
Brings a new meaning to the song Bridge Over Troubled Water. She must have been collaborating with The (kidney) Stones.
The chances of Mike--a sober Mike, and a Mike not under duress imposed by significant other--voluntarily choosing a color in the near vicinity of pink are slim to no.
