I everyones...I buy them on Ebay. When i can get some leds that match my
optical/electrical requirements, they're often in a clear package. I frost
them using high grit sand paper. Any quicker method you know? TIA for any
replies.

Perhaps try a solvent that attacks the plastic? Correction fluid thinners
perhaps?

Tape up the leads and stick them in a spark plug cleaner (like a mini
sand blaster).

Reminds me of a gadget my boss built 50 years ago.
Put a tiny paint can on top of a phono motor. Filled with
abrasive grit. Just turn in on and poke stuff down in the rotating
grit.
