Where I need to be.
It’s a very nice job indeed.

Of course, the process under which the gen FC cases are made is different from the rep ones and while the marbling is made very pronounced, the gen FC cases have swarths and patches of marbling rather than strings and thin grains which many reps have. The recent rep FC cases do look better though and are close to what the gen ones look like.
This mod helps the rep FC case look the best it can and I like how the case is now made to look a bit grey with outstanding marbling. Well done sir!

[mention]Johnny Depp [/mention] is this treatment feasible on a bezel? I think a RG ROO would look fantastic with a FC bezel

Let me answer for the gentleman. It’s possible of course. Is there any reason why it wouldn’t be?

Well not knowing the technique used (it seems to be some sort of dipping but not sure) I thought I would ask the question as I would be interested in doing a bezel. Now does it work only based on a ceramic bezel or would SS work too? This obviously is important as per to order the right one

You were asking if the matting technique works on an FC bezel and I’ve answered you that it’s possible. Your follow up question seems to be entirely different, asking about ceramic and steel bezels. So am I missing the point here? Lol
