Hey I was wondering is the silver colour of the shutter elite just raw polish aluminium in the cup or is it treated in some way to protect the aluminium fromwear and tear ![1000003613](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/0/a/00a272b670e5c761fe53ce07ac9e8018f46e8983.jpeg) ---

I had that question too. I may be wrong, but i’m guessing that it is just the coloring of the aluminum, it isn’t actually just raw aluminum ---

It’s the same color as the rest of the Yoyo it just has a polish finish on it instead of blasted.
