Any diamond cut (original or refurb...) is more prone to problems than a normal finish, but this can be reduced by protection with a further aftermarket coating, such as Metalmate.
Hope this helps.

Backs of mine from Lepsons were a white'ish paint / powdercoat finish, I very much doubt the factory finish was bare uncoated shot blasted aluminium.
