Paul,
If your wall sconces are like mine, then they are rectangular perforated , right? If not, disregard this post.
Send them to be media balsted and then you can either repaint them in the original colors, or have them powder coated in the color you want. You can even sand them with course paper in one direction, and then clear coat them, if you like a bare metal look. Be very careful of the little clips that hold the screens on the backing fixture. It breaks off easily.
For the light filtering backing, I use photographic light box covering. There's a name for it, it espapes me right now.
I have a rollof it with my photo equipment I would be happy to send out a foot of it if you want to e-mail me your address.
Best,
