A slight dulling of the aluminum is normal even with LCD. At higher CD of about 12 a slight gold tint is not unusual. If you are at 6 CD the part should stay a silver color, if it started out polished, but with less of a mirror gloss.
I don't mean to insult your math skills, but are you sure you calculated the surface area correctly? It is easy to mistake volume for area, or if the parts are thin sheet metal, often times people forget the part has 2 sides.
