The frustrating thing is that this same finish has come up here before, but under a differnt name, and I can't track it down.

Hammer toned alluminium

The alluminium boxes are finished with a type of paint which gives a finish as you see in the photographs of the link you had given. This helped a lot for me to arrive at its correct translation. This type of finish gives the impression that it has a fish similar to granite on finishing.

I am sorry that I have spelt Aluminum wrongly as Alluminium.
