I've tried this once before with a non-alembic pup with similar-looking construction and the plastic casing "faded" when I sanded it so it wasn't uniform black any more. I wondered if anyone had any experience of trying this on Alembics? tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1351 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Friday, April 29, 2011 - 7:04 am:    It's been done before- check the custom of the month, 'Monty'. Down at the bottom of the link, Mica states that they sanded down the shells. A quick phone call to Alembic and I'm sure they'd let you know how to do it right. http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_monty.html
