Review: Did the job - Worked as described. It took a little longer than I expected to start working, but put a beautiful black patina on my shiny aluminum knife scales. Happy with the results. I wore gloves and tried to avoid touching the product, but I do wonder if it should come with more instructions than the generic safety warnings on the bottle. Take that advice as you choose. I found a Qtip to work better than a cotton swab since it gave me a handle where I didn't have to get the liquid on my gloves. ## Features - ROOM TEMPERATURE CHEMICAL - The room temperature chemical used by gunsmiths and industry experts to blacken aluminum parts, Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black Metal Finish restores scratched and marred areas quickly - FAST-ACTING FORMULA - This fast-acting liquid is easy to apply with no dimensional change.

I use a heat black paint (like you would repaint a BBQ grill) heat the receiver spray at least 6 coats heating slightly between the coats then let set a week. Saturate in Brake Free CLP let set for 1 month then you have a factory coat that resist scratches. I use this method for all AK-47 metal parts as well. Just remember to use Brake Parts Cleaner on the metal before painting to clean any oil even fingerprints off the bare metal. **Q: Can this be used to touch up black anodized aluminum? Will it harm the surrounding anodized areas?** A: Yes! I used this to touch up a black anodized Vortex riflescope. The results are the scope looks brand new! Make sure to clean surface thoroughly first. I used an alcohol swab, then dry wipe with paper towel, then paper towel with a bit of dawn to degrease, then dry paper towel. I then used a large cotton swab to apply. I held it on for 30 seconds at a time with one minute breaks in between, for no more than 5 total times per scuff. Good luck! **Q: Will this darken gold anodized aluminum??** A: Has to be clean, bare aluminum. **Q: Will this only oxidize bare aluminum? Stone washed purple knife scales and want to darken up the bare (silver) aluminum coming through.** A: I used this to try and touch up a bare spot on a mossberg 500 shotgun. It actually etched the bare areas, and stripped off part of the remaining bluing(black). BUT after contacting mossberg I was told that their allow, and finish is not compatable with aluminum black. In short I cannot answer you're question except to say call the maker for a hint first.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product. *by T***S on April 28, 2026* Works great. Easy to apply. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did the job *by A***W on April 28, 2026* Worked as described. It took a little longer than I expected to start working, but put a beautiful black patina on my shiny aluminum knife scales. Happy with the results. I wore gloves and tried to avoid touching the product, but I do wonder if it should come with more instructions than the generic safety warnings on the bottle. Take that advice as you choose. I found a Qtip to work better than a cotton swab since it gave me a handle where I didn't have to get the liquid on my gloves. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re going to read a positive review, take heed to mine first *by A***E on April 7, 2026* I’ll be honest. My expectations were extremely high on this product, and I somehow felt that was true when I hit purchase. I got it, slapped some on my gun with aluminum exposed, and felt a little let down from it not matching the surrounding blacks. So I kept using it a bit more and it definitely stacks the bluing affect if you don’t rub it off with abrasive cotton or paper towel. You have to dabble it and let it dry without blowing on it. If you’re looking to fill a precise gap made from a scratch, this stuff still can do it if you have the minimal patience it takes (~5 mins per 1/2”^2). For that reason, it blends well on other existing paint. Meaning no “ridges” are seen. Is the black not going to match? Probably. But you know what you probably aren’t going to do? Cerakote it again or even for the first time, following a low maintained finish. Just buy this stuff if you want a quick fix that seriously is “good enough” since it mutes the silvery tone made from exposed aluminum completely. If you want a brand new cerakote finish, maybe you should start with all of the other supplies to do the entire finish correctly, paired with the work and time to do it. But in my opinion? This stuff is magical. It doesn’t rub off when it’s done essentially corroding the surface layer of aluminum into black. Granted, it still can with abrasives; it most definitely is not as easy to rub off as when it was actively working. After that though, i would confidently state it’s about 80% as hard to scratch again as normal solid paint in a new spot. Highly, highly recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Birchwood Casey Fast-Drying Fast-Acting Aluminum Black Metal Finish for Restoring Scratched and Marred Areas, Gun Cleaning - Birchwood Casey Fast-Drying Fast-Acting Aluminum Black Metal Finish Touch-Up Pen for Restoring Scratched and Marred Areas - Birchwood Casey Fast-Acting Long-Lasting Spanish Perma Blue Liquid Gun Blue for Steel, Touch-Up & Complete Reblue, 3 FL OZ (90ml) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/15845580-birchwood-casey-fast-drying-fast-acting-aluminum-black-metal-finish](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/15845580-birchwood-casey-fast-drying-fast-acting-aluminum-black-metal-finish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
