sandblasted
Etched with particles
Sandblasted describes a surface that has been abraded by a high-pressure stream of sand or similar grit.
The process strips away paint, rust, or grime, leaving a clean, often matte finish: The sandblasted brick looked brand new.
Glass can be sandblasted to create a frosted, translucent effect.
Figuratively, something sandblasted has been scoured or worn down: Her face looked sandblasted by years in the desert sun.
