Re: ---- How do i brighten up-----
Depends on the look you want.When I do a motor and the intake,heads and valve covers are all aluminum,I degreace everything and then paint them with K line Alumi-New.It dries as a flat coloured aluminum.A lot of these parts no matter how well you blast/clean them come out different shades of aluminum.This way everything matches and has that new look.

"Metal shot on aluminum? That doesn't sound safe."
Call around big cylinder head shops...ask people.....thats what Ive seen done and results look NEW.......maybe depends upon size of shot and air pressure... Shot blasting is what is done to brand new castings at the foundry!!!!!

Metal shot in a vibratory bin is what Aluminum foundries use to remove casting sand from fresh castings
