Thanks for all the exxtra ideas, keep them coming.

For the ARP fasteners, I did the following last night. I have a light duty drill press screwed to my bench. I put a steel bristle wheel in, held the fastener in a set of pliers and applied varying amounts of pressure.

I still need to find the right pressure, but it is creating the dull brushed look that I am wanting.

I found out if you sit, with a stupid expression on your face long enough...the answer will eventually smack you in it!!!!!
