Just wanted to thank feng for the awesome red alu spacebar I just received. Thank you for the follow up and I look forward to your next group buys hopefully more zinc sets too  ;D
Glad to hear that it finally arrived! USPS International first class mail sucks, it's quite normal to take more than 30 days to arrive. :\

This looks exciting. Glad I waited, will be picking up a couple of these new ones.

Any news on when titanium modifiers may become available? My fiance is even on board with me ordering those because she thinks it'll be the last keys I'll ever need to buy since they are titanium  :p

Anyone know if you can sand or modify the aluminum to make it shinny?  I got my space bar and my zinc caps and desperately want them to match.

You can polish the aluminium, but I think the natural "tone" of Aluminium will still be different from Zinc. You could maybe electroplate the aluminium with Zinc, but that might prove difficult. (Nothing wasn't to plate onto Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide) very easily, and Aluminium naturally oxidizes pretty rapidly when exposed to Oxygen, so you'd have to polish off the Al2O3 in an Oxygen-free atmosphere (Probably N2 would be easiest, or under water) and also electroplate it there.)
---
Short version:
if you polish the Aluminum, it won't be the same color as the zinc.
There's a process to plate zinc onto the aluminium (To make them match), but it'd be really hard.
