I dunno how brushed aluminum would look on the bike, but if you wanna replicate brushed aluminum, take a medium grit sandpaper, and brush repeatedely in the same direction with light/medium EVEN pressure with the same section of sandpaper. Reduce the grit one or two times finishing off with about 1000 grit sandpaper, and you should have a pretty sick piece of brushed aluminum.
