Polishing a alodined airplane

Hello,

My new to me Sonex kit has been completely alodined by the previous owner. Can I polish the aircraft still? Will it look funny polished or will the alodine buff off? Or am I committed to painting the entire plane?

Thanks

What color is it? Does it look good as is? Stick some decal trim stripes on it and be super light?

It's a goldish color.
