Description

Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black™ Metal Finish is a professional-grade chemical solution designed for the rapid blackening of aluminum components. This fast-acting liquid is ideal for repairing scratches and blemishes on firearms, particularly receivers, trigger guards, and optics mounts. The chemical reaction occurs at room temperature without causing any dimensional change to the part, making it superior to paints for precision components.

The final color typically ranges from a deep charcoal grey to a rich black, depending on the specific aluminum alloy being treated. Beyond firearms, it is widely used for blackening nameplates, trophies, plaques, and other engraved aluminum items. For the best results and increased durability, the treated area should be cleaned thoroughly with a degreaser before application and can be enhanced with a final coat of oil, wax, or clear finish.
