Scratches on amps... repair ??

[m3transporter 10+ year member]

Is it possible to repair scratches on aluminum amps? Some of the ones on my JL's are deep, others arent that bad.

What would be the easiest way to fix them.

What ive come up with is getting them anodized or painting them the same color as my car....

i'd like to avoid that if possible in any way.

i searched, came up with nothing.

I would look into rim polishing compounds.

Powdercoating can look pretty sweet too though.

I might try sanding out the scratches as good as i can and then compounding it. Its worth a try, comsidering these were going to be visible in my setup.

If it doesnt work, im just going to prime and custom paint them, the same color as my car.

are they just swirls or actual scratches? if the metal is scratched there isn't much you can do... sanding it down should even everything out
