I had to replace the grips on my long barreled Vaquero and found for cheap money a set of carved micarta grips. So I took some black model paint (acrylic) and painted the grips and then rubbed off the high spots with 0000 steel wool. This is the result.

Looks great but be careful that you don't get any solvent on them.
