Birchwood CaseyFast-Drying Fast-Acting Aluminum Black Metal Finish for Restoring Scratched and Marred Areas, Gun Cleaning

Fast shipping and packed well to prevent leakage and spilling in transit.

Haven't use it yet but i use the marker to fix minor scratches on my firearm. I going to look at a YouTube tutorial to figure out how to properly apply this to my firearms when in need to fix any scratches or abrasions.

Really Good Product i did us on my firearm i had some scratch and this product works good

Works well on zinc for stained glass.There's a good YouTube video out there for application tips.

I love to sit back and watch the metal turn

Be sure to follow instructions carefully. To be sure test on a small area and check color as it varies with alloy

Ordered Aluminum Black, but received Perma Blue. It's fine though...needed a bottle of that too.

Ok, so my brand new Taurus TX22 (possibly the best .22 pistol I own, and I own more than a few) was riding in my passenger seat, in a soft pistol case. I opened the passenger door to get something and plop! the gun case fell out and onto the pavement. It was in a soft case so I didn't think much of it. Then later than night I was doing to dry fire practice with the gun and noticed a nice sized shiny spot on the upper rear corner of the slide. I looked closer and dang! There was a big gouge revealing shiny bare aluminum in my nice matte black anodized aluminum slide. :-(. Not sure how it got that damaged in the case but it must have hit just right on a rock or something.Came to amazon to buy the flat black sight black paint pen to try to cover it up. Then ran across the Aluminum Black. I read some reviews that say it doesn't always turn the metal black and can vary between dark gray and black. So, I ordered both just to be safe, thinking I'd use this first to darken the metal as much as possible, then if necessary, use the paint marker to get it back completely black.Just got them today so after work I used the Aluminum Black. I cleaned the area with acetone, dipped a q-tip in the product and placed a little on the damaged area. Leaving a little drop built up on the spot, I left the pistol for a few minutes to let the chemical do its thing. After 5-10 minutes I came back and cleaned once more with acetone and reapplied a little of the product for good measure. After a couple more minutes I cleaned the area with water on a paper towel and closely inspected the damaged area. WOW! Other than the pit created by the displaced metal you'd never know that it was damaged! :-))) And unless you knew where to look you'd probably never even notice it.I've read that the results can vary, and that makes sense since different alloys will likely react differently to the chemicals. I can't say how it'll work for your application, but it worked like a charm for mine. The Taurus TX uses 7075 aluminum for the slide, and all I know is that just two quick applications of this product turned my shiny silver metal back to a deep dark black that is not distinguishable from the original matted black anodizing.I cant rate it on durability as I just did the repair, but I'm sure that since the chemical actually reacts with the aluminum to make it dark, it'll last quite a bit better than a black marker or paint.I couldn't be happier and for the price I'd say it's definitely worth a shot if you need something like this.
