After sandblasting my blades, I decided to see what it would look like on the hilt. It's a little sloppy (it's difficult!), but I'm pleased with it. I also did some painting (Testors gold) - I like how it came out in the grooves on the emitter and pommel, but no so much on the hilt and switch (it'll probably wear off the switch soon enough).
Here's a close-up so you can see what the sandblasted area looks like:
