Apple applies an anodized finish as you don’t want a raw Aluminum surface as it would rub off onto your skin which can be very irritating!

+=== Update (09/12/24) ===
+Here’s an example on what would be needed [link|https://youtu.be/pEa6vhVoQ_k?si=jBrafZ7O72kOYIPV|Removing Anodizing & Polishing Aluminum BMX Hub! (Mirror Finish)]. Keep in mind all of the plastics and other metal parts will needed to be stripped before you do this.

+Maybe it would be smarter getting a replacement uppercase and bottom cover, doing the lid is a nightmare! As you’ll need to take it apart which is risky(unless you don’t do it).
+
+For me I went with skins which adhere to the case parts and if I get bored with a given color or the skin is soiled or worn it’s easy enough to replace with a fresh skin.
