You should be posting a query like this in this forum which is for finishing, however it is difficult to find:

To get an even matte finish you will probably have to use a tumbler or bead blasting. Trying to do it with scotchbrite is difficult because for an even appearance you have to have scartches running in all directions. Using a die grinder is too fierce and because all the marks are in line they really show up after anodizing.
Go and read through the threads in the link I gave and you should be able to dig out some information.
An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
