Depends on the grit used and type, still say it was blasted, media blasting may have been a better terminology I suppose

Could be, it’s not pitted anywhere or have any texture that sandblasting tends to leave. I got it this way so it’s a mystery on all fronts. I’m tackling the ministry next week so we’ll see how it goes. Eventually I’ll get a new one. I know mid fifty use to sell them, does anyone know where to get them now that midfifty is closing?

If you look above the 13187# and the 5000 in looks like paint coming up (bubbling). And around where the screws where you can see black there and in knicks in various places I see what appears to be black also. Mine looked like yours when I bought my truck and now it looks like the one on the red glove door.
