How to matte a Frame without Painting!

Here an update:
This GasCan used to be a really bad Beater GasCan Polished Rootbeer with golden Icons.
After blasting the frame without removing the Icons it turned Matte and the Icons turned metallic silver like Stainless Steel.
Cleaned it in my Ultrasonic Bath and sealed the Frame with two coats of clear flat.
I try to take some more and better pictures.

Needs new Lenses.
If any of you have a face for a GasCan and pay's me for shipping can have it.

Just a little update about blasting X-Metal frames.
Finally bought me a blast box, Compressor and 3 different kind of blasting compound.
Just to demonstrate how effective the it is.
Between the Carbon and the X-Metal are only 10min. look at the timestamp.
