Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The grip frames on my wife's Single Sixes are aluminum and looking pretty bad. I bought some Birchwood Alum Black but thought I'd see if anyone has a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I know the Birchwood Alum Black did not work well for me. It just comes off. So go with their recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Duracoat. My 97 barrel Duracoat has held up for 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I used to soak aluminum AN fittings with Easy-off to turn them black for hotrods I had built. Might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'd prefer cerakote over duracoat. Both are better than trying to "blue" the aluminum. I had a set done awhile back in cerakote in some gun metal color. Turned out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
