I apologize for the bad picture, it was hard to get something that long in my poor lighting, with my poor camera. That's just plain 6061 Al after it comes off the waterjet machine. Sometimes the blowback after the cut has been made through will slightly cloud the surface of the part.
We plan to get a black hard anodize with a possible teflon impregnation in it. Neither is really necessary per the math for these parts, but we're getting them anodized anyway (as in, plain color black, so my as well get hard).
