Dread Matte(y) Dread

I don't know how long this will last, but I've gone matte crazy. I've taken 3 of my frames and destroyed the shiny finish. I want it matte. No shine, no bling, nothing to hide behind. Just the raw colors and textures of 100% unnatural, unorganic acetate. I think by the time I post this I'll be out of this phase, as it takes hours to sand off that top coat. I'm still trying to find a way to add texture to the finish. Here's the 3:




The top picture shows a shiny black and clear inexpensive reproduction frame that I purchased for $30. I "matted" it and then using a combination of different dyeing techniques, got the clear portion a yellow-amber to give it more age. The next frame was another cheap repro that was completely clear. Same techniques used to give it a brown/amber color. The last is a brand new Ray Ban frame that, I think, looks much better with a matte finish.
