An aluminium alloy body would dent more easily than a 'glass or kevlar/composite (AP) body.
Bare alloy needs a lot of attention. You can't stop people touching it or tapping it or dribbling on it, and that always leaves a mark that requires a touch-up clean with Scotch-Brite. OK, I have a bias as mine's painted, but how many original cars were left bare alloy finish?

Cheers,
Glen
