You did a great job or working out these scrapes and polishing them up, prior to the anodization process. That is some nice work on sanding and filing those levers after seeing the before picture and the damage that was there. The blending and smoothing are dang near perfect, that helps big time when you anodize them.

I cannot pick up any stray finger or hand prints in the after pictures either, some friends that attempted to anodize motorcycle parts for color matching aluminum were frustrated with the telegraphing of any smudge or fingerprint that was present as the part went into the fluid.

Lastly, did you do the boiling, after you went through the electrolysis part?
