They’re all actually aluminum, anodized to the color you choose. The silver one is the only one not anodized.

Filing off the anodized layer is indeed bound to look awful.

Not to well actually your well actually but they’re all anodized to prevent corrosion and scratches (the oxide layer is harder than the underlying aluminum) - the silver one is just undyed.

What tools are needed to redo the anodized color? Is it doable at home?
