All though the hard anodising is a slightly thicker finish (we are talking microns here) than the normal coloured finishes, I would suggest that you pick it up and finish it. There is a fair amount of scratches on your frame from what I saw. And if you are going through all the trouble of going through this process, it will be worth it to have the final finish better. You can always phone them, and ask for the owner, his name is Edwin. He is a nice guy, and I am sure he would go and have a look at the frame for you and tell you what he thinks, if you want a second opinion. In fact, that would be my suggestion. See what he says. You could also inquire with them, but maybe they have an internal finishing dept that could do this for you. Aluminium is a b**tch to finish. That is why most of the average everyday things that you see, that is anodised, is brushed. We spend a lot of time on the finishing of our products because of this.
