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

Why did you pick this product vs others?:works great

Used it once again on an item that I can't mention on here, and it works very well. Got a scratch? Use this! Got a complete raw aluminum something that you want to have a nice black finish? Use this! Stuff is awesome.Free tip: purchase some Preval sprayers and pour this into the bottle. Put your mask and gloves on and go to work. In very little time, you'll have a product that looks great. The Preval uses a minimal amount of liquid, and it allows you to have equal coverage over large areas. It may show wear quickly, but that is just another part of the cool factor. Just make sure you do at least three coats, washing in between. Oh, and another tip, you can take your gloved finger and brush it along the big areas to redistribute the liquid for better coverage. Works for me. Follow me for more useful tips. Lol.

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

This will dye your aluminum. However, sometimes it rubs off or fade away. You won't get a dark black finish, it's more of a gray. Perfect for finer scratches or tiny nicks.

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.

This works great to fix any scratches or imperfections on blued steel and aluminum.

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

I bought this to touch up scratches on my new AR lower and this worked perfect. I also used it on my rolling pins that lost the finish when i was swapping my trigger. I had a couple friends look at my gun and they never knew there were scratches. The directions on the bottle made it easy to apply and it's definitely worth the money.
