We present experimental light scattering measurements from aluminum surfaces obtained by cold rolling. We show that our results are consistent with a scale invariant description of the roughness of these surfaces. The roughness parameters that we obtain from the light scattering experiment are consistent with those obtained from Atomic Force Microscopy measurements.
