not really possible to keep it looking pretty.Why isn't it possible to keep it looking pretty?
Probably best to just paint the case if you really want black.
I had my LZ-GH reanodized (clear coat) for $40 from a shop in orange county, if you want a price reference.
edit: just keep calling different metal finishing shops. The first place I called had a $550 lot charge... lol
second place had a minimum charge of $60, but let me have it done for $40 since it was just one part.
Sure :)

you'd have to media blast the case down to raw alum, and hope the blasting process does not etch the case, then you'd have to re anodise it, its possible, but i don't think it would come out flawless.
Most shops stateside are super expensive because of all the regulations of the chemicals involved in the process. I'd guess $200+ if you'd want it done right. ( Most shops have a minimum fee of around $75 in my area regardless of size, plus the cost of blasting )
I wouldn't bother, have you looked at the ali express YMDK case in dark grey? It's very similar to the tex case.While they look similar the only similarities are that they fit a TKL Filco.
