What is the best way to round off the front of the trigger guard (GEN 4 G26) and, most importantly, make it look like it came from the factory that way?

I use a dremel with a sanding drum. I used my mini butane torch to heat it up slightly and it gave the appearance of the factors texture.

Ok, rounding is done. I tried the blow torch to get the texture to match but it didn't really work. It did add texture but made the plastic extremely shiny.

Does anyone else have any tips on how to re-texture the sanded area to match the original texture as closely as possible?

A dremel or an exacto knife and a lot of time for texturing

I found some small ScotchBrite wheels for a dremel at the last gun show.  The fine green gives a very similar finish to the Glock factory.  Not texture, but the finish.  I don't know how easy they are to find, but if the torch made it shiny, the fine ScotchBrite by hand would probably take it to the almost matte factory finish.
