Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Achieved the look I wanted I have the older version of this product in a plastic tub that I purchased a few years ago but it still works great, I used it to get the correct look I wanted on a pair of medieval belt buckles that I made, I hammered the buckles, dipped them for 10 seconds so as to not get them too dark, let dry for a few minutes, then lightly sanded them with some 600 sandpaper, then put them in the sealing solution for two minutes and let dry a day, the results were exactly what I wanted.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Eastwood Metal Blackening System Like the title says, very easy to accomplish. I bought this kit specifically for use on some aluminum items. Works pretty well from what I can see. How durable the coating is remains to be seen. And it does have some gloss to it; it's not dull by any means. More like a semi-flat black sheen. Left knurled portion of peep sight is aluminum and the right side is factory steel, with whatever blackening process they used in the late 40's.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very good product I was pretty skeptical about this product based on mixed reviews. I used this to coat two bare metal power steering master cylinder. I wanted this product because it says it will be DOT3 fluid resistant. While it remains to be seen if it can really handle that, everything else was pretty much top notch except the price. I mixed it in 2 halves, and coated the two master cylinders and about 2 dozen body bolts with the first half. I wish the hardener and base material had gradations so I could more accurately measure the mix’s, but i got it right anyway and it dried overnight to a very hard flat black that looks very even. I also cleaned up the firewall where fluid had removed some paint and repainted with some of this - this also looked really well. I cleaned the sprayer with thinner as recommend and with the second half of the product on another day I sprayed other areas that I had cleaned up on the underside of the car- this was an excellent hard finish when complete. I covered about 3-4ish square feet of surface with it. I didn’t like that the sprayer will leak if tilted too much or shaken, so that was kind of unhandy. Otherwise - I am thrilled with the results thus far. If it can really survive DOT3 fluid I will say generally very impressed, but given the high cost for low volume of product I can’t give it a full 5 stars. High 4 stars is best I can do.

do you have to buy the kit or are the part "A" and part "B" available in bulk? I want to use a spray gun and wouldn't need the spray bottle. What is the mix ratio for part "A" and part "B"?

Can I apply another coat of this product a day or two later with out any type of prep. I ran out of product and purchased another kit. There are still some bare spots on my parts that, after drying are visible. Thanks

Asked by: Joseph
This product would not be able to be reapplied, you would have to scuff all the old paint back down or you will run into a reaction with the new coats.

Can the 'Blackening' be clear topcoated for greater wear resistance and if so what do you recomend? Thanks
