The other end has a polished mirror finish that you could shave in. (not mine) But mine will be like this, there are a few others as clean and I have seen one with powder coat and it was an acquired taste in like navy blue. I think the color choice would determine outcome.

remember - clean parts are cooler parts

 

That's what I want mine to look like as well. I need to pick up some of that Sharkhide. Thanks AO.
