I've used this on Avo cases and it looks like I would have expected the original to have looked when it was new and clean.

I cleaned off the old paint and started from bare aluminium.

The only difficulty is that the ambient temperature needs to be 22 deg. C to get the right effect and that's a rare temperature here, some summers it never gets that hot. Possibly not a problem for Aitor.
