Black macbooks are anodized aluminum which are thin coatings that would be removed when filing. It might look cool but it’d be the silvery color of raw aluminum

worth noting that silver macbooks are also anodized aluminum, so you'll also be filing off anodization

Yes, exactly. The point I was trying to make is that with a black finish, exposing the original color of the aluminum would be even more striking.
